If you’re shopping for a phone and not quite sure what an Operating System is or the Operating System version of a device, there are a couple ways to find out. 

1.       If you’re browsing the web, click on the phone link and scroll through the description.  It will typically list the Operating System (OS).

2.       If you’re in a store, ask the sales associate.  Also check the packaging and see if you can find it listed in the description. 

3.       As much as we would love to know about favoriate mobile devices, there are many devices out there.  So take a few minutes and double check packaging and descriptions to make sure you’re getting what you need and want.
