How to find your phone’s model: iPhone, Samsung and Android

01Model name vs model number

The model name is the name the phone is sold under: iPhone 15, Galaxy A55, Redmi Note 13. The model number is the manufacturer’s internal code: a number starting with A on iPhone, a code starting with SM- on Samsung. One model name can have several model numbers for different countries. The model name is enough for a case or screen protector; the model number also helps when choosing spare parts.

02Finding your iPhone model

1. Open Settings. Go to General › About.
2. Look at Model Name. Your phone’s name is shown here.
3. See the model number. Tap the Model Number line to see the number starting with A.

If the phone does not turn on, on iPhone 8 and later remove the SIM tray; the model number is printed inside the slot. On older iPhones it is on the back cover.

03Samsung and other Android phones

• Samsung: Settings › About phone. The model name and the model number starting with SM- appear here.
• Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO: the device name is under Settings › About phone.
• Other brands: Settings › About phone or System › About.

Menu names can differ slightly between software versions. Typing “about” into the settings search finds the right section on most phones.

04If the phone does not turn on

The IMEI number is printed on the box and the invoice. If the phone turns on, you can also dial *#06# to see it. In Turkey, entering it into the IMEI lookup on e-Devlet shows the device’s registered brand and model.

05After you find your model
