"Phone name" "A" where "A" is below:
Mini - smaller dimension/screen size with usually same processor (or weaker)
Plus - larger dimension/screen size with same processor
Max - the largest dimension/screen size with same processor among the series
Pro - same or larger dimension/screen size with same or better processor and more RAM with guaranteed many additional features like additional cameras
Lite - smaller or same dimension/screen size with weaker processor
Play - smaller or same dimension/screen size with weaker processor, just a lesser obvious name, so that it can sell more independently
Note - varies. For samsung, stylus. For other brands, usually just a name.
Neo - idk
All above compared to "Phone Name" without "A"
Keep up the good work GSMA. I love seeing articles like this.

(Don't be that guy pointing out, "No! You are wrong"... morePlay, nowadays at least, is used in "gaming-centric" smartphones
As for Neo... I guess it sounds cool...? idk
You're pretty spot-on with the rest tho

I'm sh*tting bricks whenever some manufacturer releases a 'lite' version and IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME PADDLE SIZE AS ORIGINAL VERSION.
Man, just F*CK the 6+" phablets.

I have to use a phone from 2013 because of this trend. Anything decent below 5" is basically non-existent (my phone is 3.8" and is a heaven's joy to use with a single hand).
Compact = very small
Mini = smaller
Plus = better or bigger
Ultra = biggest
Pro = much better
Premium = best
Luxor, 19 May 2019Just based on my personal understanding: (Don't be that guy pointing out, "No! You are wrong"... moreI feel like Note doesn't mean just stylus. It also literally just means a big phone with a big battery as well
Apparently, nowadays "Compact" means a 7 inch extra long shovel which comes with its own briefcase, because it no longer fits in conventional pockets. Please kill me if this trend continues...
Just based on my personal understanding:
(Don't be that guy pointing out, "No! You are wrong". This just personal opinion, ok)
Mini- compact phone but may have big features
Max- big battery, big storage, extra camera compare to vanilla version
Pro- premium phone with flagship chipset and features
Plus- literally just XL size
Note- a phone with a stylus, heavy usage, multitasking
Lite- downgraded everything
Play & Neo- seriously no idea
