2. Choose System

On some versions of Android, you will need to choose System. This is mainly on the older versions, so you may be able to skip this step.

3. Go to About phone

About phone will tell you all you need to know. When you have selected it, you should see a screen showing you various bits of information. Look for the words Android version. The number you see next to that is the version of Android OS that you are currently running.

While you are in About phone, you should note that it also tells you lots of other things which could prove useful if you are trying to solve a problem.
