## Remarks

This class provides serialized fields shared by both [DefaultDeviceFilter](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/hardwareprofiles/defaultdevicefilter.md) and [ProfileDeviceFilter](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/hardwareprofiles/profiledevicefilter.md). It stores the Android OS version, Vulkan API version, driver version, and graphics API selection. You don't use this class directly; instead, use [DefaultDeviceFilter](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/hardwareprofiles/defaultdevicefilter.md) or [ProfileDeviceFilter](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/hardwareprofiles/profiledevicefilter.md).
