Unfortunately, you cannot directly change the ‘deviceCategory’ value in Google Analytics. This is a built-in field which is automatically populated by Google and it only supports ‘desktop’, ‘tablet’, and ‘mobile’ categories. The only way roundabout way would be to possibly create a separate segment or filter for Android devices specifically, or indeed use a custom dimension that could specify what type of mobile device is being used. But as for changing the ‘deviceCategory’ value directly, it is not possible.
