When we access the Google Play Store from the browser and click the button to install an application, we see that we are shown one or more names of Android devices. The bad news is that the name Google Store automatically assigns is illegible and it can cost us to identify the type of device or lead to confusion. If you prefer Google Play to give a more readable name to your Android device, here are the steps to change the device name in the Google Play Store.

As an example, in my case when I access Google Play through the browser it shows me as Samsung SM-G900F device name, but in reality this code corresponds to my Samsung Galaxy S5.

How to change the device name in the Google Play Store.

One of the greatest virtues of the Play Store is its accessibility, since being a centralized service we can access from the browser and manage the installed applications.

First of all we access Google Play Store from our browser, as we usually do. Then we click on the "Settings" icon that we find in the upper right corner and that has a gear shape or we can access directly through this link .

Once we click, it shows us the option "Settings" or "Settings" that will take us the following screen where we will see the section "My devices" .

Here we will have to click on the "Ediatar" button of the device we want to modify and change the name. Finally, click on the "Update" button and that's it.

Now, the next time we try to install an application accessing the Play Store from the browser we will see a readable device name that we can easily identify .

This little trick for Android is functional all kinds of mobile devices with Android. This process can be done as many times as you need or when you renew your mobile phone to identify it correctly.
