This video was hilarious. Made my head hurt.

I thought I was the only one confused by the naming scheme and spent hours on GSMarena trying to figure it out. They just repackage the moniker that's hot at the moment and push the phone out to the market. If OnePlus adds a T, they add it across the board. If iPhone adds a MAX they add it, wherever it's slightly appropriate.

I noticed it on their website as well. There's no single website that would cover all of the confusion. It's usually just a bunch of microsites focused on what phone of theirs is trending and they forget about it in half a year and move on. Somebody point me towards a website that has a comprehensive overview of everything Xiaomi brands or produces.

But then again, the phones are well built and supported, so the entire marketing game is funny. It's also not present at all Xiaomi product lines.

Great video by TA, kudos!

xiaomi should focus on quality not quantity, most xiaomi phones are good price performance but dont last that long

Yup, the video is spot on. They released so many models last year already, but it seems they took it to the next level of retardedness this year.

Really? What he forgot about samsung and asus then

The worst thing they do is recycle names for different phones in different regions.

Like the Redmi Note 9s in India is named Redmi Note Pro, but it’s a different phone from the Redmi Note 9 Pro in the rest of the world. It’s okay if you want to release 10 variants of the Note 9, but keep the names consistent everywhere.
