![]() On Android devices with Marshmallow and above, the device model name is stored in two locations, the build.prop file and in an additional location called Settings storage (). You can see the changed model number under Settings> About device, though. I remember writing a tutorial on changing Android device name for WiFi, Hotspot and Bluetooth on Android devices, but what we are talking about today is pretty different.Įditing the ro.product.model entry in the Build.prop still works but doing that doesn’t change the device’s name everywhere. To change Android phone name though, you do not require root privilege. So, if you own a rooted phone, here’s how you can change Android device model number using the steps described below. It was really very easy for the rooted users to change Android device model number on KitKat, Lollipop and older versions of the OS but things changed after the introduction of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Changing the model name or number is not something every Android user seeks to do but it’s still a useful trick for some users.
