But by entering #39991539#* code on the phone app, you will get every information about your phone’s camera.
5. Find Manufacture date of the Phone
Finding the manufacturing date of the phone is important, why? because Samsung is only supporting four to five years of Android updates. After that, they will stop updating or providing updates for your phone. If you purchase an old phone, the next year, you may not receive any more updates. Based on that, checking the manufacturing date of the phone is very important. To check the manufacturing date, enter #36912580# on the phone app. This is a sample of the manufacturing date which is displayed similarly to 20221216. The two digits from the right indicate the day, the 2 middle digits indicate the month and the last 4 digits represent the year.
