Guys,
Planning on buying Arc S.
So how do I differ Arc S and 'normal' Arc?
Any way to check?
Worry got con paying extra hundreds for 'normal' Arc.
Any help appreciated bro.
The physical look exactly same, can't differentiate.
The colour can give some clues, but not 100% correct. May be the seller change the chassis.
For Xperia Arc, available colour are "Midnight Blue" & "Misty Silver".
For Xperia Arc S, total 5 colour for selection, "Midnight Blue", "Misty Silver", "Pure White", "Gloss Black" & "Sakura Pink".
Another way is check the model number of Xperia Arc/Arc S.
Go to Setting --> About phone --> Model number
For Xperia Arc, model number is LT15i or LT15a.
For Xperia Arc S, model number is LT18i or LT18a.
If you go for ori set, make sure phone IMEI number match with box IMEI number. If the box printed with Arc S model and IMEI number match with phone IMEI number, then phone model is Xperia Arc S.
For Ap set, sometimes IMEI number different each other. So can't use this method.
Method to check phone IMEI number is dial *#06#.
If you worry been cheated, better go to Sony Ericsson retailers, but they sell ori set only.
