Phones that are "dual-active" must have two IMEI numbers, because the phone networks cannot handle the same IMEI number used twice simultaneously.

The thinking in general is that a single handset, with however many alternate SIMS in place, has but a single IMEI ... while a handset that's really *two* telephones bundled together within a single device (each capable of telephony services independent of the state of the other) will need *two* IMEIs, one per independent telephone.

According to it's manual and how to check both IMEI numbers I assume it's dual active

Could be a re-registered IMEI for example the IMEI that comes back as a samsung could be from a dead phone and the number has been reused but the websites haven't updated the info - Check with Xperia care if you have concerns http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
