How to Identify What Samsung Galaxy You Have (6 Ways)

The first way to identify what Samsung you have is to look into the phone’s model number. It’s a series of letters and numbers found on your phone that you can use to search for your phone’s model name.

You can find the model number on the Settings menu of your Samsung phone. Follow this method:

1. Open your phone’s Settings app.
2. Select About phone, and you’ll be able to view your:
   • Model Number
   • Model Name
   • IMEI Number
   • Serial Number

Another option for the Samsung phone model number lookup process is dialing *#06# on your phone.

1. Open your device and open your dial pad.
2. Dial *#06#
3. Your model, serial, and IMEI number will appear on display.

There might be times when you cannot access your phone’s apps. Your device might be locked or broken, which makes it hard to check via the Settings app.

Sometimes, your phone can be locked after putting in the wrong pin, pattern, or password. You may be able to unlock your phone using your Google password.

• If you enter your unlock method incorrectly five times in a row, an option to Unlock via Google will appear. Enter your Google profile’s log-in information and then click Sign in.

If your phone is broken and you’re unable to turn it on, there are options to look for your model number on your physical device. See the next part of this article to do this.

Samsung phones have an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, which is used to identify a cell device throughout all companies worldwide. They can use it to monitor and locate a stolen or compromised device.

• Take note that the IMEI is not the same as the model number.

Samsung phones have a globally unique identification number assigned to each device, called the serial number. It is used to match the device ID with a customer so that the company knows who owns a certain device.

• The serial number should not be confused with the model number.

Model numbers distinguish models in a manufacturer’s line of devices or appliances. Several devices can share a model number, indicating that they are the same model (Example: SM-A526B, SM-G986F).

Why are these numbers significant?

These numbers are significant because you can use them to identify devices. First, learn how you can find these numbers on your Samsung device.

The IMEI, serial, and model numbers are printed on either the back of your Samsung Galaxy or beneath the removable battery for older devices. These are usually printed in small text.

After determining the model number by your chosen method, you can now use the Table of Galaxy Models found below to select the model of your Samsung phone. We’ve listed the exact model numbers of each Galaxy unit and the year it was released.

One way to know your phone model is by using Bluetooth technology pairing. The default name for your Bluetooth device is often your phone model. On another device, use the Bluetooth search engine in Settings to look for other nearby Bluetooth devices and find the device listed as “Samsung.” It should also list the model name.

Another way to search what type of Samsung phone you have is to check your carrier’s account. If you are registered to a carrier, you can probably log in on their account page.

This account page can help identify details about your device, including your phone’s model number, name, and other information.

Among the carriers that may be connected to your phone are:

1. Connect to the internet.
2. Open your carrier’s website on your phone or computer’s browsing app.
3. Look for a Sign-in option.
4. Enter your log-in credentials.
5. Once you’ve signed in, scroll down until you access your phone’s details.
6. Search for the model number.

1. Connect to the internet.
2. Open Samsung’s website on your phone or computer’s browsing app.
3. Look for the Sign-in option.
4. Enter your log-in credentials.
5. Once you’ve signed in, search for your phone’s details.

This is one of the easy ways to identify which Samsung Galaxy phone you own if you still have the box your device came with. You need to uncover your phone’s original packaging or box and the official receipt that came with it when you purchased it.
