## What it is
A small Android library that maps a device's Build.MODEL codename to its consumer-friendly market name, backed by a database of over 27,000 devices based on Google's maintained list. It is distributed via Maven Central as a lightweight AAR with a simple Java API.

## Use cases
- get the market name of the current Android device
- resolve Build.MODEL like SM-G930F to Samsung Galaxy S7
- look up a device name from its codename
- show a friendly device name in app analytics or support screens
- get manufacturer, model, and codename info for a device

## When to choose
- you need consumer-friendly device names on Android without shipping your own mapping database
- you want a tiny, dependency-free Java library that works on API 7+
- you need offline lookup for the top devices with fallback to Build.MODEL

## When to avoid
- you need device detection beyond names, such as hardware specs or capabilities
- you target platforms other than Android
- you need a library with frequent updates or Kotlin-first APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, developer-tools
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: android-library, device-names, build-model, device-detection, java, android, mobile
