      Yeah, it’d be a little more meaningful if it was dictated by the OS rather than the brand.

      Yeah, last paragraph:

      It’s hard for any Samsung phone to stand out in the market because Samsung releases so many devices. If we look at the GSM Arena’s database for phones released from 2021–2023, Apple has released 13 phones, while Samsung has 89 different models.

      What is different is that Apple took the top 7. The year before they had 8 in the top 10, but a Samsung phone was at number 4. Also interesting how high the iPhone 15 models sold despite only selling for basically 3 months.

        Yeah, and that’s just one brand… Honestly, how the hell do I choose my next phone?!?

        • I generally pick “last year’s flagship” because those are still very good several years after, but not as expensive as when just launched.
        • And flagships have the benefit of having lots of 3rd party accessories available.

        But even with these limits, there’s just too damn much to choose from…

      So essentially androids water their model numbers down because there are so many different ones?
