Whether you are trying to verify your phone's authenticity, file a warranty claim or set up a repair request, you will need your unique Mi serial number or IMEI number to check the same. Finding the serial number on any Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco smartphone is incredibly straightforward. Here are the best ways to locate your exact Mi serial number.
Find Xiaomi or Mi Serial Number Using Phone App
The absolute fastest way to find the serial number your MI or Xiaomi phone is by using a Xiaomi secret code in your phone's keypad. This method works across all Android devices, similar to how we can find out the serial number on Google Pixel phones. This method also works on Mi, Redmi phones and Poco mobiles running on both MIUI and HyperOS.
- Launch the Phone app on your Xiaomi phone, open the keypad and dial *#06#.
- A screen displaying your phone's IMEI and unique Mi serial number should pop up. If it's a dual-SIM smartphone, you should see two IMEIs.
This is pretty much similar to how to check Samsung serial number, OnePlus serial number and Realme serial number.
Check Mi Serial Number from Settings
If your phone is active but you cannot use the keypad for any reason, you can easily pull up the same information by digging into the system settings.
- Head over to the Settings app on your Xiaomi phone and tap on About phone.
- Then scroll down and select Detailed info and specs, followed by selecting the Status, and then tap on Model
- Here, you should find a complete list of hardware identifiers, including your Mi serial number and model number.
The Detailed info and specs screen is where you can also check the IMEI number of Xiaomi phones.
Check Xiaomi Serial Number using Retail Box
If you cannot use both methods described above because your phone's screen is broken or the battery is dead, you can still find your Mi, Xiaomi, Redmi or Poco serial number without needing access to the software.
- Grab the original packaging your phone came in and look at the bottom or side stickers for a barcode.
- Your Mi serial number and IMEI should be printed right above or below the barcodes. This box can also indicate which country your Xiaomi phone is from.
- An alternative to this is that Xiaomi phones come with a small sticker on the lower half. If you haven't peeled this off, it contains both your IMEI and Mi serial number.
If you find that the stickers have been peeled or the original retail packaging is nowhere to be seen, you may also find out your Mi serial number using the purchase invoice.
Once you have the serial number or IMEI, you can head to Xiaomi's official Product Authentication portal to verify the warranty on a Xiaomi phone or confirm that the product is genuine. And that brings us to the end.
