Do OEMs provide such an information in any form (except what's put in stickers at the back of certain phones)? – Watt 30/9, 2013 at 18:14

You can use

Log.i("ManuFacturer :", Build.MANUFACTURER);
Log.i("Board : ", Build.BOARD);
Log.i("Diaply : ", Build.DISPLAY);

Here is the documentations of that: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.html

I need Manufactured Date not the name of Manufacturer – Agent 27/9, 2013 at 9:8

The Build.TIME field is likely what you're after though it's not documented as to what that field actually describes. If you look at the source code for the Build object you'll see the following: public static final long TIME = getLong("ro.build.date.utc") * 1000; – Commix 1/10, 2013 at 20:39

@Karl: Build.TIME is the time the binary was built. It changes every time a new binary is downloaded or the device gets a system upgrade. – Watt 2/10, 2013 at 11:46

Upvote for you considering the Android docs don't even explain that :p Cheers for the info. – Commix 2/10, 2013 at 20:19

@Sameer, by getting system updates: Settings > About > System updates – Watt 3/10, 2013 at 17:48

You can get the date the OS was installed.

Date osInstalledDate = new Date(Build.TIME);
Log.i("MW",  "time from Build.TIME = " + osInstalledDate .toString());

Unfortunately if they re-install the OS this won't work.

When testing on my android device I saw this in the logcat "mali: REVISION=Linux-r2p4-02rel0 BUILD_DATE=Thu Oct 25 08:43:05 KST 2012". This looks like a manufacture date or the compile date? I havn't figured out how to extract this in the android app yet. – Rice 4/10, 2013 at 6:54

The closest you can get to the Device is with the TelephonyManager.

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Log.d("X", tm.getDeviceId() + ", " + tm.getDeviceSoftwareVersion());

There you get the IMEI, Software Version and some information about the current Cell and SIM card. But device depenedant date: no, not yet in Android.

Presently there is no API in Android to get Android Device Manufactured Date. From Build.TIME you can get OS installation or up-gradation date.

On samsung oneui devices we can dial *#12580*369# and see the manufactured date. RF Cal shows the manufactured date there.

But I have no idea to retrieve it programatically.
