Can I run Stockfish with old Snapdragon phone?
CPU Octa-core (2x2.73 GHz Mongoose M4 & 2x2.31 GHz Cortex-A75 & 4x1.95 GHz Cortex-A55) - EMEA/LATAM. I tried to run Android builds from Stockfish ARMv8/7. I got message "no application to run this program".

Hello Jouni, you never installed Stockfish on a phone? There must be enough instructions to find about that here on the board. Memory is very rusty. Google says Android is probably something like 9.0:

If that is the same phone, or thereabouts, it is not very old. Just follow instructions, even from AI if you must
, you probably need to first install a proper GUI because Stockfish will not run on its own. That's why the message I think.

Android is 12. I am only interested to run bench and speedtest from console. Is this possible? No GUI needed.

Probably not, Android don't like that sort of thing...
