It is not only the Smartphone’s android version details that you are going to be shown how to find but also, the name of your device, manufacturer, carrier, the Linux kernel version and the recent “Android security
patch level”.

so let’s start. Open the “app drawer” where the entire list of apps are installed on your phone and tap on the “Settings” icon. The App drawer is a button located at the bottom of your Home screen mostly at the center but sometimes at the corner.
Go to the “About phone” or “About tablet” tab in “settings” screen.
There, you will see your android version number with no name included. For instance, “Android 7.0” is displayed instead of “Android 7.0 Nougat”.
Also in that section, you will see the “Build number” and “Kernel version”. That tells you about the exact
build of Android on your device and its Linux kernel version with build
date. This information determines whether your device has the latest security patches.
In addition, you can see what each android version is represented with by tapping the “Android version” repeatedly.
