*#06# giving different IMEI from Settings --> About

spiral

For two different devices running GOS (P6 & P6a), dialing *#06# returns different results than what is listed in Settings --> About.

Since I do not own a stock-android device and so am unable to check for myself, I've posted to reddit asking if other Android users have different IMEIs listed when dialing *#06#. Several responses say that their results match what is listed in Settings.

So, for clarity, I'm curious if GOS changes something here regarding imeis - or, if not, perhaps someone knows what's going on with this situation.

I'm wondering if it's possible one is returning the IEMI for the physical SIM slot, and the other is the IEMI for E-SIM?

Apparently this has been a thing for a long time

I see, that's right, it's that the last digit is cut off.
