This is an informative article because I had been confused by the naming scheme of every new phone nowadays.

Sendo X was a beast back then. Friend had it and i was so jealous (probably the only Sendo X in Estonia :-) ). Felt definitely better, faster and cooler than Nokia 6600 i had that time.

I think every brand needs a series name, e,g, Lumia or Xperia and a 2-4 digit number e.g. 520, 70 etc. Sony were close, they could have had the Xperia Z6, M6 but for some reason they switched after about 5 iterations.

Maria, 07 Apr 2019Somehow I miss the numbering of Nokia phone with 4 digits. ... moreSame, for example in 6500, the 6 represents the business class and the 5 (out of 1 to 9) shows that it is the middle-class of the 6xxx series. However this didn't apply to all Nokia phones, the 6310i isn't better than the 6650 for example. Also the i at the end e.g. 3510i were used to show that a phone was improved internally but didn't change externally.

Back when Android was in its heyday, I was thinking that a small company like OnePlus should rise to create a product which had little marketing, but the best software and hardware. At the time I was involved with AOKP, so I thought the mascot should be a Horse (its attractive to young/middle/old people). Hence, I thought it should be named the "Colt", and released yearly, so:
2011 - CP1 (Colt Phone One)
2012 - CP2
2013 - CP3
2014 - CP4
2015 - CP5
2016 - CP6
2017 - CP7
2018 - CP8
2019 - CP9
etc etc
And that they could've released also a Tablet, and a Console/TV Box. It would've been developer focused but consumer friendly. In contrast to iPhone (anti-consumer), and most Android phones (anti-developer). Guess, in the end greed is the driver for exaggerations, lies, and marketing, and it wins over the majority of consumers because they are not very intelligent.

To search for new sony xperia flagship is specially hard, no wonder with the naming as "1". They should just use code names in words like andromeda and the likes with the year attached.

Over time I actually read comments bashing a product (Sony XZP for example), just because it was difficult for them to pronounce the name. Hating a product because you can't speak it's name is dumber than anything :))
I can't pronounce Koenigsegg perfectly, but I don't hate that brand for it..

I believe the "One" started with HTC Nexus One. Then there was the entire family of HTC One X, One S and One V, with multiple iterations for different regions and carriers. Then it was reduced to just One (M7). Good old days.
These days manufacturers seem really lost. Jumping from 10 to 20 and so on, or messing with Roman numerals, not really knowing how to use them. Like Apple, when they named their phone XS, which in Roman numerals equals 10.5, not "Ten S".
It's funny to watch them struggle.
