Amazon releases a new edition of its Fire tablets every year, and it can be quite confusing to determine which model you actually have. Sometimes this is because you bought it secondhand or through other channels like eBay.
And Amazon doesn't do much to help fix this situation either, since when it launches a new device it tends to call it a new Fire tablet without identifying it as such, as happens with other companies and their mobile devices.
One reason to know your Fire tablet model is if you want to buy a case or manually update the tablet. Another reason is if you want to sell it and need the information to inform the buyer. Below, we'll show you how to identify a Fire tablet by its serial number.

There's also another way to find out which tablet you have, based on certain features available on Amazon's website, which I'll share in this same post soon to give you more options. However, with the serial number, you shouldn't have any problem identifying that Fire tablet your uncle gave you or the one you bought second-hand.
