A 64-bit processor is more capable than a 32-bit processor. This is because a 64-bit processor can fetch and handle more data at once. The important question is, ‘Is my device running a 32 or 64-bit operating system?’.
If a 64-bit processor powers your Android, it will run on a 64-bit version of Android. If it’s using a 32-bit processor, it will likely have a 32-bit version. For more details, check out the article “Difference Between 32-bit and 64-bit Smartphones.”
