First, that refers to software, not hardware. Devices are hardware.
Device software is software. Hardware is not software. Software has
versions, which may change over the life of the device. Devices have
models, which do not change over the life of the device.

Second, the documentation for that method states:

"Returns the software version number for the device, for example, the
IMEI/SV for GSM phones. Return null if the software version is not
available."
