Introduction to mobile phone series of various mobile phone manufacturers

Looking at the naming of all mobile phone brands, we can find that the naming of foreign mobile phones is relatively standardized, and each number and letter in the mobile phone name has a special Meaning - they not only represent a certain model, but also represent the manufacturer's positioning and strategy for this model. However, as the competition in the mobile phone market becomes increasingly fierce, each manufacturer launches new phones more frequently, resulting in the original numbering system of many manufacturers being no longer sufficient. Just as telephone numbers in many places have been upgraded from 7 to 8 digits, manufacturers' numbering rules are also changing!

We have only done a superficial research and discussion on the mobile phone models of several major brands of mobile phone manufacturers.

Introduction to Nokia mobile phone series

Nokia mobile phone models are diverse and the market positioning is also very complex. According to the different prefixes of the model, they are roughly divided into nine series:

l 1: Low-end series;

l 2: Low-end series of entry-level mobile phones;

l 3: True Personality Series;

l 5: Sports Vitality series;

l 6: Business elite series;

l 7: Fashion pioneer series;

l 8: Noble and elegant series;

Currently, the 4 series has not yet developed corresponding models, and it may be a series reserved for future development by Nokia. Let’s discuss these series in detail:

1 series. There are currently only three models of the 1 series, namely: 1100, 1108, and 1610. The 1 series configurations are all monochrome and single-tone ringtones and belong to the low-end series;

The 2 series. The 2 series is also a low-end series of entry-level mobile phones. In 2004, Nokia released two new models: 2600 and 2650, both of which were low-end phones.

3 series. Series 3 belongs to the true personality series. This series is mainly aimed at the younger generation. The characteristics of this series are: the cost is generally low, and the configuration is at the mid-to-low-end level of Nokia as a whole. In order to save costs, the appearance materials are more general and have a strong plastic feel. It should be pointed out that the 3 series was only a member of the low-end series before 2002, so there were classic monochrome machines such as the 3210 and 3310. Since 2002, it has been transforming towards the trendy young market. Starting from 3530, this trend appeared. Today's 3100 and 3220 are basically finalized for the 3 series. In addition, there are a few high-end models in the 3 series, such as the 3650, 3660 and the newly released 3230 smartphones. In fact, smartphones are mainly concentrated in the 6 series and 7 series, but the appearance of these two series is relatively restrained and subtle. The 3 series provides a stage for smartphones to boldly display individual appearance, and the 3650 is such a typical topical product.

5 series. The 5 series belongs to the sports vitality series. Some people also say it is a feature phone series. Although there are few models in the 5 series, each model has its own unique personality and special functions. This was the case with the earliest 5110 in the 5 series. It was Nokia's first mobile phone with a removable case. At that time, very few models had this feature. Later, the 5510, a classic music phone, had a built-in player that could play large sound files, making it possible to listen to music on the phone. 5210 has three defense functions, which adds a sporty feel to it. 5100 is an upgraded version of 5210. While maintaining the three-proof function, it is equipped with the more advanced S40 human-machine interface and practical functions of the S40 series. It is a very special model of Nokia in 2003 and is still very popular today. . The 5140 released in 2004 inherits the excellent three-proof function, and also has a series of auxiliary functions for sports and outdoor activities; compass, thermometer, decibel meter, GPS positioning system, etc.

6 series. The 6 series belongs to the business elite series. Many classics were born in this series. The classic business machine "Chameleon" 6110 in the late 1990s, another classic 6210, the mid-range practical model classic 6610, Nokia's first 3G mobile phone 6650, the first 6600 with a 65536-color screen, and so on. The 6 series not only embodies a mature taste, but also adds an extra charm to successful people. The 6 series is also the mid-range and above series with the most mature software and better functionality. In the future, Nokia's smartphones will mainly be born here.

7 series. The 7 series belongs to the fashion pioneer series.

There are not many models in this series, but each model is very distinctive. Its shape is famous for its fashion. Nokia's first WAP mobile phone in China, the 7110, has a very classic sliding cover shape. The 7210 is a classic among the S40 models. The inspiring keyboard is worth praising regardless of its ease of use and ergonomics. The creativity of the V-shaped keys alone is worthy of praise. The 7650 is Nokia's first built-in camera phone, a pioneer in smartphones and a creative drop-down keyboard. The first megapixel camera phone, the 7610, can be seen from its shape as an absolute work of art in a mobile phone. The 7260, 7270 and 7280 derived from it continue to carry forward the retro and elegant red, white and black color combination. The 7 series is equivalent to a testing field for Nokia. Many new ideas and new ideas are the first to bloom on the soil of the 7 series.

8 series. The 8 series belongs to the noble and elegant series. There are not many models in this series, but they are also very distinctive. The machines in the series have unique shapes and exquisite materials for the casing. The classic 8310 is exquisite in appearance, compact and easy to use. It is also Nokia's first mobile phone to support GPRS. 8810, Nokia's first classic sliding cover shape, full metal casing. Its later descendants 8850 and 8855 carried forward its noble spirit. The thin, light and compact 8210 and 8250 are the mainstays of Nokia's low-end market, and many people still like them to this day. The last thing I have to mention is the 8910, which is the first to automatically raise the fuselage and keyboard by pressing the side buttons of the fuselage, and has a titanium casing. Everything exudes its kingly aura to the world.

9 series. The 9 series belongs to the personal assistant series. This series is a combination of communicator and PDA functions. They are all shaped like laptops and have powerful personal information management functions, making business people even more powerful. There are very few products of this series in China, the configuration is top-notch, and the price is also expensive.

There are currently two special series, N-Gage and N-Gage QD. Instead of using numbers to make models, they use more dynamic English letters and easy-to-speak English pronunciations as their marks. Both of these are gaming phones. Although N-Gage was not successful, its significance is great: the first real gaming phone. QD has improved a lot in terms of gameplay, which is in line with its positioning as a gaming phone. And the price-performance ratio is outstanding. An S60 human-computer interface smartphone priced at more than 2,300 yuan is very attractive. QD will definitely become a classic.

The arrangement of each model of each series of NOKIA also has regularity. We might as well study it:

The model is XX00, such as 3300, 6600, etc. These are the most distinctive models in the series with a comprehensive set of functions. 3300 is a well-positioned and extremely attractive MP3 music phone. 6600 is even more of a classic.

The model is XY00, such as 2100, 3100, 3200. These machines are the flagship models of this series. Nokia's first GSM foldable phone, the 7200, is an example. Among them, the X100 model is especially important. The X100 is positioned as the main model in its series. Observing the sales of these X100 models, we can see that this is indeed the case. Models such as the X100 have very stable sales and very good reputations. They are Nokia's main force in capturing market share.

The model is XY10, such as 3210, 5510, 7610, 8810, etc. Most of them are mobile phones with some new features or innovative features from Nokia. For example, the 3210 is Nokia's first mobile phone with a built-in antenna. Many new functions and new ideas were first shown to the world on the XY10 model.

The model is XY20, such as 3120, 3220, 6820, etc. These machines are generally based on the model with the same number as the XY position of its model, and are more complete and mature models than the former. For example, the 3120 is based on the 3100, and the 3220 is based on the 3200. The 3120 inherits the performance of the 3100 and replaces it with a chrome-plated silver shell. It is called the 3100 suitable for young business people. The 3220 has the functions and features of the 3200, such as the ability to change the inserts at will. , and also used the "flash message" pioneered by Nokia.

The model is XY30, which is basically a mature and complete summary of the XY00 model before it. For example, 3230, 6230, 6630.

Among non-smart phones, apart from the screen, the 6230 has the most powerful functions. The 6230 is definitely a strong player in the 2004 6 series and is also a hot-selling model in the market. The 3G mobile phone 6630 is currently one of Nokia's strongest, with every configuration being at the forefront. In addition to inheriting the personality of the 3 series with its unique shape, the 3230 also adds an intelligent operating system to enrich the functions of the 3 series models.

The model is XY40, there are not many on the market, and it is not very successful.

The model number is XY50. Most of them are mobile phones with more powerful functions in their own series, and some are smartphones. For example, the Noble 7250 and 7650 in the 7 series, and the 3650 in the 3 series.

The model is XY60, most of which are smartphones. For example, 3660, 6260.

The model number is XY70, a new model suffix, currently there are three models: 6170, 6670 and 7270. It is a supplement or another interpretation of the different market divisions of its same series of models. For example, compared to the 6630, the functions of the 6670 are slightly simplified, forming another level of choice. Compared with the 7200, the 7270 maintains the appearance of a folding machine, improves the screen, and adds some functions. The important thing is that the appearance of the 7270 is in a classic and elegant style rather than the fashionable style of the 7200.

The model number is XY80. If the 2280 of the CDMA network is not included, then it is a new model suffix. There is currently only one model: 7280. It looks like lipstick, has no keyboard design, and has a retro and elegant style of red, white and black. It's definitely eye-catching.

There is currently only one model of XYZ2: 2112, which is a CDMA mobile phone.

The model is XYZ5. In addition to 3355, 8855 and 6255, it is another version of the XYZ0 model using CDMA network. For example, 3105 is relative to 3100, 3125 is relative to 3120, and 6225 is relative to 6220. Usually the functionality of the CDMA version is slightly different from that of its GSM brethren. For example, 3100 is a 4th chord, and 3105 is a 16th chord.

The model is XYZ8, which can be regarded as a variant of its XYZ0 model. For example, compared to the 6100, the 3108 is compared to the 3100. What stands out is that it has the function of handwriting input. These two phones with numbers ending in 8 seem to be specially designed for Chinese people who are accustomed to inputting Chinese characters by hand and are launched in Chinese areas. Also, compared to the 1100, the 1108 replaces the green backlight of the 1100 with a white one, making it the 1108. The 3128 is a foldable model only available in mainland China.

Introduction to the Motorola series of mobile phones

In the name of a mobile phone, the first is the brand name "Motorola". The first letter after the trademark name indicates the series to which the mobile phone belongs. Currently, Motorola mainly has the following 5 series of mobile phones.

Sony Ericsson has inherited many features of the original Ericsson brand, including the arrangement of mobile phone serial numbers. Initially, its mobile phone model numbers were as follows:

Introduction to Samsung mobile phone series

In the past, Samsung divided its mobile phones into four different types: fashion mobile phones, business mobile phones, technical mobile phones and practical mobile phones.

l Fashion mobile phones: The basic driving force for this type of mobile phones is gorgeous appearance design and good reputation.

l Business mobile phone: focus on functionality and efficiency.

Although on the surface, Samsung’s classification method is very simple, the R200 and R210 are neither practical nor fashionable phones; while some models, such as the N400, fall somewhere between business Between a mobile phone and a fashionable mobile phone, because the N400 has all the functions of a business mobile phone, it also has a stylish appearance and an automatically retractable antenna, which makes the N400 look more like a toy than a true mobile phone. cell phone. Another model N500 also belongs to this type of mobile phone, which can be called a fashionable and practical mobile phone. Samsung's mid-range phones usually fall into the stylish & classic category.

Starting in the spring of 2003, Samsung began to adopt a new classification method. The last few phones to adopt the old classification method are: A800, R210, N620, S500 and T400. Starting from the second quarter, all products have adopted a new classification method:
