How do i get record type of a record using the ID?

I am trying to use schema object to retrieve record type using the ID. I am able to retrieve the object name say account using the below query, but how do i retrieve record type of the object using this information without SOQL

String objName = objId.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName();  // Objid is the id of the record

Hi there,

I do not believe this is possible. To get the recordtype for a specific record you would have to query it, something like this: 
Id accountRecordtypeId = [Select Id, RecordtypeId from Account where id=:Objid].recordtypeId;
Please remember to mark this thread as solved with the answer that best helps you.

Kind Regards
Stephen
