Mapping Android device models to human-readable brand names

Question

I need to find the brand name of an Android device device models (such as "Samsung Galaxy S III").

Unfortunately, android.os.Build.MODEL returns the model name, such as GT-I9300. There is no way to get a human-readable brand name, so in order to show a human-readable name, such as "Galaxy S III", I apparently need to manually map all the Android device models in the world.

Where can I find a complete list of devices with a mapping, or a better solution for this mapping issue?

This info is widely available, you can get from google as part of their answer "Full list of supported devices": https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1727131 -> https://storage.googleapis.com/support-kms-prod/21707874A6E6F72ECEE9DCF33F867D25035B
