It’s doesn’t matter whether you own a device from Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei,
Vivo, Realme, Nokia, Motorola, Asus, or Oppo, it’s very easy to check the activation date
of any Android phone or tablet.
Typically, a smartphone or tablet is considered new until it’s packed inside the box and
has not been activated by inserting a SIM card and registering it with a Google account.
So, if you want to check how old your phone is, it’s up to you to choose because it can be
determined on two factors: its manufacturing date, and the activation date.
In most cases, the activation date of a phone is its purchase date and IMEI activation date
too because most of us tend to register it the same day. The best way to find out the
purchase date of your phone or tablet is to check the purchase receipt or bill.
In case you bought your device from an online store, you can check your order history to
know about the date you ordered and received it. You can also make a search in your
Email inbox using the device name keyword. Usually, online stores send emails when
your order your device and also when it’s delivered to you.

Via Google Play Store
You can also check the unboxing date of an Android device via the Google Play Store.
Open the Play Store Settings page on your computer or smartphone. You’ll see the
registration date under the My Devices section. This is the activation date of your
Android phone or tablet.
As you can see, the phone activation date of my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is January 25,
2021, and that of my Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro is August 31, 2019. This way, you can find
out easily how old your phone is.

Check Phone Activation Date by IMEI
If you own a Realme smartphone, you can use the OEM’s Phone Check service to get all
information about your phone including its activation date and time by entering the IMEI
number. Xiaomi offers a similar product authentication service but it does not give
information about the purchase date of Mi phones for all models. If got an Oppo phone,
you can check its warranty status simply by providing the IMEI number.
Anyway, if you are an Android user, you can easily check your phone’s activation date
using its IMEI.
3. Type your phone’s IMEI number in the box that says ‘Enter IMEI‘.
4. Click on the Check button.
5. On the next page that shows all basic information about your Android device, click
on the Warranty Check button. Please note that the name of the button might
differ for devices from OEM to OEM.
6. On the next page, you’ll find the activation date of your Android phone. Below, is an
example of my Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro activation date and time.
Alternatively, you can go to IMEI24 to check the purchase and IMEI activation date of any
Android or iOS device.
