I’m not too tech savy. I’ve searched online and found two methods that use Google Play or my Google Account, but for the life of me I can’t find the settings I’m supposed to find. And also, wouldn’t this information just be stored on my device? Why do I need to ask Google about my phone ?

Another method is using an IMEI code, which I’ve found on my phone but the website I’ve tried said they have no information about me. I could try again on a different website but this feels dodgy to me. Maybe I’m wrong.

So, is there a simple way to access this information? Thanks.

      You can probably make a pretty fair guess based on the release date of the phone. You know it will be less than that age.

      I’m not sure what you’d get out of this information. A rough estimate of Battery wear?

      Other then that it’s not like the age of the device is that useful?

      You won’t find it on device and if it’s second hand you’re not going to be able to look it up. I’m not even sure if a carrier would tell you… It’s information about someone else.
