How to correctly identify your phone model and version?

Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I'm trying to do a fresh reinstall of Cyanongenmod.

Now I am confused and don't know which version I have? I bought it in Portugal. But is there a way to automatically identify the phone?

Thank you

Go into settings then About Phone and it should display everything you need

From there I could only see that Cyanongenmod's version was implying that the phone was the maguro model. I'm not sure if that confirms that the phone is maguro as the first time I installed Cyanogenmod I might have done it wrong – gota Oct 05 '15 at 11:01
Well, my assumtion is that the Cyanongenmod code get's the model using a GET command, so I'd say it was pretty accurate, I guess one way you can do it is type a model number into Google and see what model it comes up with – IBTrey Oct 05 '15 at 11:25
also what Gaurav said is a good path to take... tis a good, safe app! – IBTrey Oct 05 '15 at 11:25

Link for the app, a brief description and optionally, a screenshot would help. – Firelord Oct 05 '15 at 15:22
