Android ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Read device information
Example
Write the following command in your terminal:
adb shell getprop
This will print all available information in the form of key/value pairs.
You can just read specific information by appending the name of a specific key to the command. For example:
adb shell getprop ro.product.model
Here are a few interesting pieces of information that you cat get:
ro.product.model: Model name of the device (e.g. Nexus 6P)ro.build.version.sdk: API Level of the device (e.g. 23)ro.product.brand: Branding of the device (e.g. Samsung)
