OLED box vs. LCD box

[Guest lolwot]

Yesterday the Orange shop gave me a LCD SF one, which is on the top of this picture.

Two weeks they gave me a OLED SF, which is on the bottom.

That product code must be the difference between an OLED and LCD one...

in your country

here i have 216663 tft

[Guest 4TecH]

I have a product code no. 1118, but it's an LCD...

This is just based on my own experience so It may not be right 100%, but I'd say that if the black/orange sticker with the information about the orange wednesdays etcetera has been applied to the side of the box (usually left-side), this is an OLED model, however if it has been applied to the front of the box, covering the flap in the centre, this is an LCD model.

Not quite true. Mine is over the flap and is OLED. Product code 1118.

As I see, the TFT version's box' refurbishing sign is more like yellow while the OLED's is green. Or is it only the picture?

[Guest Arr Too]

I think we may have established that the "Glass" entry in the CHIPINFO dialler code is authoritative about OLED vs TFT (and there may be two TFT variants).

picked mine up from orange shop on Sunday, was told that it was TFT ;) , product code on box is OZTN1118 and sicker is on left hand side of box, build number on phone is OUK_P729BV1.0.0B05 which I believe from reading on another forum is OLED :) as below

OLED Screens have Android build B05 whereas TFT Screens have build B08

Couldn't it be that 1118's are either oled/tft while the 1122's are all tft?

I changed my TFT one in Orange Store, it was shutting down itself. Then luckily they gave me an OLED one. :) I asked them if there is a way to understand if it is OLED or TFT. And he said there is no way without opening it. There was just one in stock and I checked it, it was an OLED one (Model Number is finishing with 05) After, I looked two boxes, they were absolutely same. Just IMEI and sim number changes. There is no way to understand looking on boxes.

that just kills the whole topic lol! ;)

I'm not so sure. Is model number the same as rom version?

I remain unconvinced that the poster actually has a oled phone and that it wasn't a return from someone else who had already flashed it.

I went hunting today, and managed to find an OLED one. Last one in the store's old stock.

I managed to open both boxes and compare both phones:

TFT had 1122 on the box, and version B08.

OLED had 1118 on the box, and version B05.

Might not be a trend, but its what i saw today.

Yes, but was the model number 1118?

If it was, then the theory could be true. At some point phones with the model number 1118 changed from oled to tft. Any phones with model number higher than 1118 are definitely TFT's, whereas 1118's could be either. So if you get a 1122 theres a 100% chance its a TFT, but if the box has 1118 then its a lucky dip and theres a chance its an oled.

The bottom sticker that says PAYG on it...

The oled in the first picture has a 36 on the end, as does mine, maybe this is wat distinguish's them? :S
