How to identify which Samsung tablet you have
Identifying which Samsung tablet you have can certainly be a challenging task. As with Samsung phones, the tablets have many different makes and models, many of which also don’t have any particular standout or recognisable physical features.
In this article we are going to take you step by step through the process of identifying which Samsung tablet you have.
The benefits of knowing your Samsung tablet model number
Knowing your Samsung tablet model number can definitely be useful for a number of reasons.
Firstly, booking a repair on our website becomes as simple as clicking a few buttons to find your device. Once located, the Samsung tablet repair that you require is therefore easy to sort.
Secondly, shopping for the right accessories for your Samsung tablet is also just as easy once you know the exact model. Therefore, you no longer have to guess if an accessory will fit or is compatible. You will certainly know for a fact if it does or doesn’t.
How to identify which Samsung tablet you have?
The easiest and most direct way to find out which model of Samsung tablet you have is to go into the settings menu.
This can be found in: Settings > About Tablet.
This menu certainly lists a lot of handy information about your tablet. Useful details, such as which version of android it is running can also be found here. Most importantly, which model of Samsung tablet is currently in your hands.
On older Samsung tablet versions you may have to go slightly deeper into the menu list to subsequently find this option.
This can be found in: Settings > General > About Device.
The information listed here is identical, just located elsewhere in comparison to newer Samsung tablets.
What can you do if the device won’t power on or you cannot access this menu?
Alternatively, on the lower back portion of your device there is a huge amount of text. This text contains most of the copyright and trademark material that you would perhaps normally ignore. Just before “Designed and Engineered by Samsung” you will also see a model number starting with two letters followed by a Dash. For example: “SM-“ or “GT-“.
Using this model number and consulting the table below you can quickly find out which Samsung tablet you have.
