I think making of new phones should be stopped, the phones are getting too much. There should be like a throttle on the rate Manufactures keep making new phones.

Most Chinese phone makers are guilty of this.Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi etc.

This is a no issue. so many of the variants are meant for the chinese market and it's not intended to leave their market. while some are given different name for different market. For example the poco f3 was released as mi 11i for india. So also, the 12s, 12s pro and the 12s ultra were only released in china. the idea behind the name scheme is just to identify the variants for a particular market

Some variants are exclusively for the Chinese markets.
The rest are tweaked for other markets

Lol. Some are for the Chinese market while others are for the Global market but even at that, Xiaomi is really causing a lot of confusion with its naming system. iPhone 14 also has a US version which uses only eSims and a global version that uses sim cards but you won't get confused when trying to purchase the phone. Xiaomi is just being stupid honestly. How can a single series have move than 6 models?

Of all the phones listed there only 12 pro and 12t pro was released in Nigeria so how exactly is it a problem for you ? Will you go to China and buy those meant for the Chinese market or go to India and buy those meant for them ? Una just dey complain over what doesn't affect you

And so what if 12 pro and 12t pro were launched in Nigeria? How many of those models the op listed were made for only the Chinese market? Most of them were made for the global market because even from their specs, they all support network bands from all countries. Instead of admitting that Xiaomi is confused you dey try defend them as if Xiaomi is the only company that produces Chinese versions of their devices.
How can a company be making multiple models of the same series and just swapping little things in each model and creating more confusion. One phone will use Snapdragon, the other will use Mediatek.

12s, 12s pro, 12 pro Dimensity, 12s ultra were all made for the Chinese market and that's almost half of what's posted so I don't know what you're on.

Most other android phone brands also do the same thing infact companies like oppo release phones with the same name but different specifications for different countries so common sense dictates that you focus on the ones that reach your location.

Xiaomi have been making a lite version of their flagship since 2019 (Xiaomi 12 lite), they've been making a cheaper version that also comes with a flagship processor since 2019 (the Xiaomi 12t and t pro), the only variant there that's new is the 12X and they made cause they were trying to pander to the people that always say they want a small sized flagship grade phone which means they're listening to what the customers want but unbiased thinks they don't know what they're doing

This still proves just how ignorant you are, if you know just how many phones Samsung produces in a year you won't be saying this, you don't hear of them cause they're not meant for your region

OGA you need beating. Go to GSMArena and check all the phones Samsung has released this year and compare their naming convention to the nonsense Xiaomi does.
