all same in the firmware if has same version.. the games, application and layout..

Newer version of firmware have only fixed some bugs or added updated camdrivers or displaydrivers and many times they have nothing new installed ( games , programs , funktion ).

Nice day

Both of the phones have the same firmware version.

Some times, new firmwares are faster..

new firmwares wont give you new games, but just fixes bugs, faster phone response and a few little extra functions. oh! flash your phone to unbrand it, simple as that. you should have to unlock the phone again. latest firmware: R8BE001_RED52

hold on forgot to tell you, you sound like newbie, after firmware flash remember to finalise your phone by flashing with a custom pack. Good Luck
