Get Android Phone Model programmatically

Question

I would like to know if there is a way for reading the Phone Model programmatically in Android.

I would like to get a string like HTC Dream, Milestone, Sapphire or whatever...

Answer 1

Here is my code , To get Manufacturer,Brand name,Os version and support API Level

String manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;

String model = Build.MODEL + " " + android.os.Build.BRAND +" ("
           + android.os.Build.VERSION.RELEASE+")"
           + " API-" + android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;

if (model.startsWith(manufacturer)) {
    return capitalize(model);
} else {
    return capitalize(manufacturer) + " " + model;
}

Output:

System.out: button press on device name = Lava Alfa L iris(5.0) API-21

Answer 2

Actually that is not 100% correct. That can give you Model (sometime numbers).
Will get you the Manufacturer of the phone (HTC portion of your request):

 Build.MANUFACTURER

For a product name:

 Build.PRODUCT

Answer 3

Yes: Build.MODEL.

Answer 4

You can get the phone device name from the

BluetoothAdapter

In case phone doesn't support Bluetooth, then you have to construct the device name from

android.os.Build class

Here is the sample code to get the phone device name.

public String getPhoneDeviceName() {  
        String name=null;
        // Try to take Bluetooth name
        BluetoothAdapter adapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        if (adapter != null) {
            name = adapter.getName();
        }

        // If not found, use MODEL name
        if (TextUtils.isEmpty(name)) {
            String manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
            String model = Build.MODEL;
            if (model.startsWith(manufacturer)) {
                name = model;
            } else {
                name = manufacturer + " " + model;
            }
        } 
        return name;
}

Answer 5

On many popular devices the market name of the device is not available. For example, on the Samsung Galaxy S6 the value of Build.MODEL could be "SM-G920F", "SM-G920I", or "SM-G920W8".

I created a small library that gets the market (consumer friendly) name of a device. It gets the correct name for over 10,000 devices and is constantly updated. If you wish to use my library click the link below:

AndroidDeviceNames Library on Github

If you do not want to use the library above, then this is the best solution for getting a consumer friendly device name:

/** Returns the consumer friendly device name */
public static String getDeviceName() {
  String manufacturer = Build.MANUFACTURER;
  String model = Build.MODEL;
  if (model.startsWith(manufacturer)) {
    return capitalize(model);
  }
  return capitalize(manufacturer) + " " + model;
}

private static String capitalize(String str) {
  if (TextUtils.isEmpty(str)) {
    return str;
  }
  char[] arr = str.toCharArray();
  boolean capitalizeNext = true;

  StringBuilder phrase = new StringBuilder();
  for (char c : arr) {
    if (capitalizeNext && Character.isLetter(c)) {
      phrase.append(Character.toUpperCase(c));
      capitalizeNext = false;
      continue;
    } else if (Character.isWhitespace(c)) {
      capitalizeNext = true;
    }
    phrase.append(c);
  }

  return phrase.toString();
}

Example from my Verizon HTC One M8:

// using method from above
System.out.println(getDeviceName());
// Using https://github.com/jaredrummler/AndroidDeviceNames
System.out.println(DeviceName.getDeviceName());

Result:

HTC6525LVW

HTC One (M8)

Answer 6

you can use the following code for getting the brand name and brand model of the device.

 String brand = Build.BRAND; // for getting BrandName
 String model = Build.MODEL; // for getting Model of the device
