Visual Studio and DeviceInfo Match but OS on Android Phone says 9.1

[DwainSnickles]

My Phone P31 Pro S6 which I purchased just for debugging about phone says Android Version 9.1 but Visual Studio and I also did a app using the latest version of deviceInfoPlug in as follows
<Debug.WriteLine("Generated AppId: " + CrossDeviceInfo.Current.GenerateAppId());' 'Debug.WriteLine("Generated AppId: " + CrossDeviceInfo.Current.GenerateAppId(true));' 'Debug.WriteLine("Id: " + CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Id);' 'Debug.WriteLine("Model: " + CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Model);' 'Debug.WriteLine("Platform: " + CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Platform);' 'Debug.WriteLine("Version: " + CrossDeviceInfo.Current.Version);>
these both say P31 Pro S6 Android 5.1 Api 22 Which one is accurate The Phone or the code?

Looks like the device is reporting it wrong. It is using Build.VERSION.Release, which is the official API. Nothing I can do here.

I recommend switching to Xamarin.Essentials -> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/device-information?context=xamarin%2Fxamarin-forms&tabs=ios

Not the end of the world it still works I did do an Xarmin run test as suggested with the following results. Thanks for your quick response.
[0:] P31 Pro
[0:] S6
[0:] 5.1
[0:] Android
[0:] Phone
[0:] Physical

It is -> https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Build.VERSION#RELEASE that we are using.
