Hey @No-name 

It depends on where did you purchase it from? What's the model of the device that you have?

I bought a XQ-DE72, but don't know where it was imported from.

I found android 14  67.1.A.2.264 to be very laggy (I've made posts about that already). I ended up downgrading to Android 13 . However, before doing so, I forgot to check the region using *#*#7378423#*#*>Service info>Software info.

I've tried HK, TW and SEA ROMs XQ-DE72 ROMs and currently using the 67.0.A.6.99 A13 TW one. All these ROMs seem to show same 8 digit "Sony product code" in *#*#7378423#*#*>Service info>Software info.

I was wondering if this "Sony product code" could be used to determine where the phone was originally intended for out of TW, HK, SEA and CN. Thanks

Hey @No-name 

Where did you purchase the device from exactly? I believe the model XQ-DE72 is not available in Europe.

Also, this code is related to the SIM card services only, it won't show you what's the purchase country of the device?
