It's interesting that it is Linux. I've seen a few so called "speed solutions" disabling resources if the device is Linux. They may be breaking the page for Googlebot!

We see the different user agent modifiers to identify Google-InspectionTool/1.0 and Googlebot/2.1. No surprise there.
I re-ran the testing tool a week after the real Googlebot and the Chrome version had already increased a bit. My Chrome is currently on 138, so it is a little behind. Googlebot's version when it crawled on 28 Jun 2025 was officially released 2 June 2025. The Google-InspectionTool version was run on the 7th July 2025 and it's version was released on June 17, 2025. So maybe it lags about a month.
It's not a real Nexus 5X, not surprisingly. The hardware concurrency is impressive, however ChatGPT thinks it is faked, or maybe they just have powerful servers. The memory is also not for a Nexus 5X but may reflect the memory allocated to that bot. The processor seems legit for a Nexus 5X. It's interesting that they still pretend to be a Google phone from 2016.
