HOw to display s4 mini model #

[killigula]

I bought an s4 mini used and not sure what the model it is. I know it's an sgh-i275m but not sure if it's a GT-I9190, GT-I9195 or even know what that part of the model number indicates. Any help would be much appreciated.

Settings>About device will list things like model number, android version, etc.

That's the first place I checked but it only displays the "SGH-I257M". I also checked the getting started guide and the box but nothing lists the "GT-XXXX" part of the model.

I found some info on the wikipedia page though that seems to suggest it's related to the band or region, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4_Mini, which is accurate in my case because I'm in Canada and it lists the "SGH-I257M" as "Canadian AWS LTE (SGH-I257M)", Still wondering if this is at all related to chipset though.

The sgh is the model number then, since it appears to be from Canada

Thanks, you're a wealth of information

No sweat. The other model numbers you listed were international ones. Canada and the US often share similar models. I think this is because of similar radios.

Just happened to see this thread because I am researching this Model to possibly use on Metro PCS /TMobile in USA.

SGH i257 IS the model number.

This is an upgrade over most S4 Minis because it has16 GIG ROM versus 8 in other versions.

There are also more frequency bands in this version enabling it to unlocked and (hopefully) get full speed with many Carriers .

This is also used by AT&T USA.

There are no different Cameras, and all ,S4 Minis have dualcore 1.7 GHZ. CPU and 1.5 GIG RAM.

But yours has an extra 8 GIG ROM .
