How to read a mobile IC code with MIC

A useful IC lookup starts with an accurate marking. MIC is a reference for chip identification. Use the app, or open the online web IC Checker for a browser lookup.

1. Read the printed marking

Find the code on the memory chip. Copy it carefully, paying attention to similar-looking letters and numbers. Do not guess a character that you cannot see.

2. Enter the code

Type the code into the MIC app or web checker. Supported core identification in the app works offline. The web checker needs internet and a quick security check; website suggestions are temporarily unavailable.

3. Read each result separately

Check storage, RAM where applicable, company and chip type. An identification result is not a test of chip condition and is not a resale-price quotation.

If you use AI scanning

Where enabled in the Android app, camera and gallery scanning can help read the marking. Crop to the intended chip, then check the recognized code. AI scanning requires internet and an account; availability and credit limits are shown in the app.

If a result looks wrong

Recheck the exact code and report an incorrect detection through the app's support option. Do not base a purchase solely on an uncertain reading.
