There is a way to add devices or mask what your current device is, but this cannot be discussed on Android Central. You
may find what you seek on
XDA Developers. However, you can't
remove this from a device, because all android devices have identifiers that tell things like the play store your devices specs. This is mainly used so that you don't have access to apps that are incompadible with your device (i.e. if it can't handle the app), but this usually only applies to cheaper or legacy and under-powered devices. Apple does the same thing. I honestly
wouldn't worry about it. I would be
far more concerned about issues like Windows 10 telemetry or your cable providers logging policies...
