    this.context = context;
    metrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
}

public String getDeviceName() {
    return android.os.Build.MODEL;

Answer 2

You can use the getprop command on the adb shell and check yourself that which of the files contains the correct Serial number.Many times the serial number is located on different files and code has to be device specific.

Foe samung Tab 3 you can use the following code:

try {

    Class<?> c = Class.forName("android.os.SystemProperties");

    Method get = c.getMethod("get", String.class, String.class);

    serialnum = (String) (get.invoke(c, "sys.serialnumber", "unknown"));

} catch (Exception ignored) {

    serialnum = "unknown";

}
