Android Device Names

Android Device Names is a 14 kB library that transforms the device model name into something people can understand. For example, a useless SM-N910W8 becomes Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

First, add the following to your list of dependencies:

compile 'com.github.tslamic.adn:library:1.1'

Then, use it:

// Returns the device name or null if the device model 
// is not in the list.
DeviceNames.getCurrentDeviceName();

You can provide your own default value, if null is not good enough:

// Returns the device name or "Unknown Device" 
// if the device model is not in the list.
DeviceNames.getCurrentDeviceName("Unknown Device");

If you want to provide the device model yourself, the following should do the trick:

DeviceNames.getDeviceName("SM-N910W8", "Unknown Device");

About

This library was designed with a specific goal in mind - avoiding memory overhead. Here's a detailed blog post in case you're interested in details. Currently, the library recognises 473 devices.
