Hello everyone! I'm Gollum Iron Egg! We often mention a variety of Android devices in articles, and one of the important identifiers is the serial number of the device. A device's serial number is used in many cases to uniquely identify a device, for example for commissioning and testing of a device in software development, or for tracking and locating a device if it is lost. This article will show you how to get and find the serial number of your Android device.
Part 1: What is the serial number of an Android device?
An Android device's serial number is a unique identifier provided by the device manufacturer to identify the device. Every Android device has a unique serial number, similar to an ID number. Through the serial number, we can know the manufacturer, model, production date and other information of the equipment, and also can track and locate the equipment when needed.
2. Obtain the serial number through the setting interface.
In the settings interface of the Android device, we can directly get the serial number of the device. Here's how:
1.Open your device's Settings app.
2.In the settings interface, find the option "About Phone" or "About Device", which is usually located at the bottom of the settings.
3.Enter the "About Phone" or "About Device" interface, where you can see the serial number of your device.
Note: Different Android device manufacturers and system versions may vary, but similar operation portals are generally provided.
3. Obtain the serial number through the dial pad.
In addition to obtaining the serial number through the settings interface, we can also obtain it through the dial pad. Here's how:
1.Open your device's dial pad app.
2.Enter "*" (without quotation marks) and dial the number.
3.The serial number of the device is automatically displayed.
This method works for most Android devices, whether it's a phone or a tablet.
4. Obtain the serial number through the label on the back of the device.
Some Android devices will have a label on the back that contains the serial number of the device. We can look directly at the label to get the serial number. Typically, the label will contain information such as the make, model, and serial number of the device.
5. Obtain the serial number through the original packaging box of the device.
If you still have the original box of your device, the serial number will usually be printed on the box. You can find the box and look at the label on it, which will contain all the information about the device, including the serial number.
6. Obtain the serial number through the IMEI number of the device.
IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a globally unique device identifier used to identify mobile devices. In most cases, the IMEI number and the serial number of the device are the same. To get the IMEI number of your device, you can use one of the following methods:
1.Look for the IMEI number in the settings interface of your device.
2.Dial "*" and look at the IMEI number displayed by the system.
3.Look at the IMEI number on the label on the back of the device.
Note: Some devices may use other identifiers instead of the IMEI number, such as MEID (Mobile Equipment Identity) or ESN (Electronic Serial Number). In this case, you can think of them as the serial number of your device.
Through today's introduction of Iron Egg, we learned how to get and find the serial number of an Android device. Through the device's setup interface, the dial pad, the label on the back of the device, and the original box of the device, we can easily obtain the serial number of the device. In practice, we can perform operations such as device management, software development, and device tracking based on the serial number of the device.
In the future, with the development of technology and the update of Android system, we can expect more methods and tools to help us get and find the serial number of our Android device.
