Rules (interactive)

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I don't really understand what you're getting at.
Smart phones are easy to identify by their model name? As In the current Samsung flagship phone is the S25 Ultra. S for Samsung. 25 for 2025. Ultra being better than Pro or whatever.
IDK about tech products but "obfuscation" is a strategic component of pricing. Telcos do this with their phone bills. This type of call costs this much per minute and that type of call is free for the first 5 minutes per call and calls to these numbers are a flat rate for the first 5 hours per month but you also get 30 free minutes plus another 45 minutes to be used at off-peak times.
They do this so you can't compare to other providers.
for samsung phones, you’ve got the “A” series for cheaper models (which are A0x, A1x, A2x, etc. but why can’t it be something like Ax, Bx, Cx, etc? Otherwise people might think that an A51 might be newer than the A36, for example. Having more than 3 letters , 4 if you count the “M” series, would make things much easier. Overall though, I think Samsung’s naming schemes (for their phones) make a bit more sense than some others.
I was mostly talking about Apple and the “Pro” designation not meaning what it means. And there’s also quite a few phones with “Pro Plus” which 1. isn’t professional and 2. aren’t plus-sized models of the original “Pro”.
And yeah, I think the point you make on “obfuscation” might be correct.
