And that covers all the ways you can check your Samsung phone's unique serial number. Note that the serial number and IMEI are different identifiers. A serial number is a hardware ID that Samsung assigns to every single device it produces. Whereas IMEI is used to identify your phone across all mobile networks worldwide, not just by Samsung.
