  • All Samsung’s usually have the model number, serial number or IMEI printed on the rear battery cover, eg SM-G970. Pro Tip: Take a picture with someone else’s phone and zoom in as the text is very small!
  • The IMEI, serial number and model number may also be printed on the official packaging or box that came with your device.
