Step by step

1. 

   Open About phone

   Open Settings and tap About phone at the bottom.

   On ours it was near the bottom, between Tips and user guide and Developer options.

   Done

2. 

   Read the model name

   Model name shows the exact model, here SM-A576B/DS. /DS means dual SIM.

   Done

3. 

   Find the serial number

   Serial number is the line below. We blurred ours.

   Done

4. 

   Find the IMEI

   IMEI 1 belongs to the first SIM, IMEI 2 to the second SIM or eSIM. We blurred both.

   Done

5. 

   More detail in Status information

   Status information, lower down, has IMEI information and the EID for eSIMs, plus the MAC addresses. We blurred the private values.

   Done

6. Or dial *#06#

   Samsung says dialling *#06# in the Phone app shows the IMEI and serial number straight away; no call is made. We did not try it on our phone.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• You have a Galaxy tablet The steps are the same; the menu is called About tablet instead of About phone. Source: Find your Samsung phone or tablet's IMEI, model, or serial number
• Dialling *#06# shows nothing Samsung says the code only works where your carrier supports it. Use Settings, About phone instead. Source: Find your Samsung phone or tablet's IMEI, model, or serial number

If this does not work

• The phone will not turn on Samsung lists other places for the IMEI and serial number: printed small on the back near the bottom, the original box, your carrier account, the bill of sale, and the Samsung Members app (Support tab, then your device name) if you use a Samsung account.

• Your Galaxy has a removable battery On select models, such as the Xcover6 Pro, Samsung says the IMEI and serial number are also printed under the battery. Source: Find your Samsung phone or tablet's IMEI, model, or serial number

About this guide

You need the IMEI to report a stolen phone or unlock it from a carrier, and the model and serial number for repairs and warranty. All three are in About phone.

Step 1 is from the same phone after its One UI 9 update (Android 17).

Good to know

Samsung lists other places too: the original box, the label on the back of some models, your carrier's account and the receipt.

In short: Settings, About phone: model name, serial number, IMEI 1 and 2. Or dial *#06#.
