How to Find Device Model and OS Version on Samsung Galaxy

Quickly locate exact model number and system version for support requests.

Last verified: February 21, 2026

Android device identification is in Settings > About Phone (or About Device), where the Model Name and Model Number entries usually show different things — the marketing name (Galaxy S24 Ultra) and the hardware SKU (SM-S928B) respectively, both of which can be needed for driver downloads, case purchasing, or carrier unlock requests. The Android Version and One UI Version / Android Skin Version entries on the same screen are important to note for support tickets, as Android behaviour varies enough between versions that support teams need both to give accurate advice. The Build Number entry, tapped seven times, also unlocks Developer Options which is relevant for advanced troubleshooting.

  1. 1Go to Settings > About Phone. Look for Model Number (or Device Name) and Android Version.
  2. 2Note the full model number and current OS version — you will need both for support tickets or driver searches.
