How can I find out if I have a Xperia Arc or an Arc S????

scarver — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:26:38 GMT

Hello All,

Just purchased what I thought was a New Black Xpereia Arc S from ebay, but after receving the phone I am unsure???

When I do a check on the IMEI number is comes up as a LT15i so not the LT18i Arc S

When I check on the "about phone" section under settings it comes up as a LT18i????

On the sticker inside the phone under the battery it says its a LT18i.

Is there a definative way I can check I have purchased the 1.4ghz Arc S LT18i?

Would like to know if I have been ripped off again on ebay!!

thanks for any help....

you have the LT18i, probably the past user flashed the LT15i software.

thanks for your reply.

new to all this, but I was thinking it could be the other way around,,, a LT15I Arc phone that had been flashed with LT18i software to make it apear a newer phone?

thanks again for the tip.

we seam to have lots of class 4 cards and a few class 10's but not many class 6's for sale over here in the uk.

Should I look out for a class 6 or go for a class 10?

Anything about class 6, so either 8 or 10
