Google Analytics and Android Build.MODEL Mobile Device Model

Is there a way to get the “Mobile Device Model” parameter on Android that is sent to Google Analytics? The constant inconsistency of the Build.MODEL "Mobile Device Model" that appears on the Google Analytics web page in some cases. For example, for Huawei Nova, “Mobile Device Model” is “CAN-L11,” and Build.MODEL is “Huawei CAN-L11.”

Thanks in advance!

It seems that in my case the “mobile device model” is unusable. The only way to get Google Analytics to work correctly is to use event labels using Build.MODEL. You shoot two rabbits at once: the reports become more detailed (previously, the Mobile Device Model reports contained only 10% of the total data collected), and you get reusable data.

This cool and small library returns a commercial name based on Build.MODEL and Build.DEVICE. https://github.com/jaredrummler/AndroidDeviceNames

Internally, he uses this list, supported by Google, with more than 10 thousand devices (which probably also uses GA): https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1727131?hl=en

In the absence of an automatic way to get the line of the construction model used by Google Analytics, you can create your own solution using these sources.
