How to check if a new Android phone/tablet has got no factory reset yet?

I dont think you can but they do however turn on the device to test it to make sure everything is working

 

Go to Developers mode. Could be there.

 

you can't. if everything is sealed up and you supposedly bought it brand new, i think you should be ok. if anything, the device should be under it's factory warranty. did you buy the tablet at a legit place or online like amazon? or did you buy it from a 3rd party seller?

 

I guess so but I've still got more options.
Me? I haven't used them but I like them there.

 

well i mean there could be a chance that the device is used as some companies do try to fix the devices that get sent back to them and well you get the rest

I don't think I've ever seen that on any of my devices (but I don't own that model).

Good luck.

 

the only thing i can think of where that kind of info would be on, would be the imei number. carriers use this to see if the device is blacklisted and if you are currently connected

you know, i just checked on my note 10+ and i have in settings>about phone>under factory reset which says none.....i wonder if that is where it will show a date from the last time it was reset???? never really noticed that before.

 

For what it's worth the oldest folder on my Pixel 2 is dated 1 Jan 2009, 8 years before the device was made and in fact more than a year before the first Android device I owned was made (which rules out the date being a consequence of my transferring data from previous devices). None of the 4 file explorers I tried could tell me anything more than the last modification date for any of my folders (that particular one is empty).

To my knowledge, Samsung's are set to update firmware automatically by default. The only way your Galaxy Tab S6 would have the latest firmware is if it was connected to a data source OTA. A brand new phone will still have the very first firmware that was released bay the manufacturer.
