I use my phone a little more than the computer because I share the PC with my kids. I don't find it giving me different solutions or what's considered the "best move" as much as I always see a difference in the evaluation points. Although sometimes because the phone is evaluating different than the PC it does give the first move as something different but generally I do see a fairly big difference in the points(as much as .5 difference at times) from mobile to PC.
Analysis differences between mobile app and computer
The points are similar but the list of the moves is different.
Yesterday my opponent resigned after 13th move in app i have 10 excellent and 3 inaccuracy but in computer i have 11 excellent and 2 good moves. It made me confused.
No info about the topic from the support team? 3 years later = same problem![]()
we pay good money, though...
It all depends on the depth of the engine. By that, I mean how far an engine can see. A chess engine which sees 10 moves ahead will give different suggestions to the same engine that can only calculate 5 moves ahead. A quick analysis using the chess.com engine is fantastic for blunder checking and pointing out missed tactics but I don´t think it will be much help in terms of aiding your positional or strategic understanding of a position.
The Phone Processor is less than 5 watts. A desktop or laptop CPU is greater than 45 watts usually. For blunder checking, phone can do that easily. Still the move suggested by Stockfish on phone can beat GMs.
Mwell, I'm surprised no one seem to know the basic rule of informatics: more space means more (potential) power. There is more space within a laptop than within a smartphone, and more space within a desktop than within a laptop. Therefore, you'll usually get more power for the same price with the bigger machine, or as much power for less money (since miniaturization costs: rare elements, etc).
As a reminder, the IBM comptuters in the 50s were huge, and here is the deal: since then, it has always have been a race for costs reduction and performances enhancement, along with space saving (ultimately, space occupation generates costs).
The present state of the market sure might be confusing, hence why it's interresting to know history, especially history of computers, when you want to understand why and how this machine performs better than that other machine.

Seems that my question is not so clear.
"why it is not possible to launch on the phone analysis with say depth 26?"
I mean give me the option in the mobile app settings to choose the depth of the engine. And let me to decide wether i want to wait for an hour before my phone got down to depth 25 and drain out my battery or i will choose a more humble depth.
P.S.
"I'm surprised no one seem to know the basic rule of informatics"
And you don't even know me and what i know about informatics ![]()
But what do you think about the option in the mobile app settings to choose the depth of the engine?

You're using the mobile app and not the mobile browser, correct?
Ok, and why it is not possible to launch on the phone analysis with say depth 26?
Can't handle it i guess. PC, on th other hand, can
Yes, I’ve noticed the same kind of thing before. Some games (especially strategy or puzzle ones) run slightly different algorithms or versions between mobile vs. PC, so the results or solutions don’t always match. Sometimes it’s because of:
Different builds of the game (mobile updates may lag behind PC or vice versa).
Device compatibility — mobile apps may simplify calculations to run smoothly, while the PC version can use more complex logic.
Server-side vs. local processing — one platform may fetch data online while the other uses cached or offline logic.
From my experience, the PC version is usually closer to the “official” or full logic, while the mobile one is optimized. I play and store both versions of my progress safely using terabox mod apk, so I can test across devices.
Do you want me to share a trick I use to check whether it’s a version mismatch or just random variation in the game logic?
I’ve played 8 Ball Pool MOD APK both on mobile and PC, and honestly, nothing compares to it. On mobile, the game feels smooth, quick to access, and perfect for casual matches, while on PC the emulator setup gives me a bigger screen and more precise controls with the mouse. No matter the platform, the unlocked cues and tables, unlimited spins, scratch cards, and customizable mod menu make it far superior to the official version. The anti-ban system runs flawlessly across both, so I never worry about account safety. I especially like using extended aim lines in offline practice mode on mobile, then testing my skills in tournaments on PC. The team at 8bpoolproapk keeps the game updated and optimized for both devices, which is why it’s now my go-to billiards game everywhere.
I always play and analyze the games on my mobile phone but today i analyzed 'the game that i played yesterday' on computer and it gave me the different solutions from mobile app.
Why is it happened like that and which one is correct?
Do you have the same problem?
