Am I the only one surprised there were even that many in the first place?

Chinese companies love the ACKOOO type names. LPOWERB, SUPERQ, FKPHONE, that kind of thing.

With all the shitbrands on amazon and similar sites I was only half surprised but still 100% more surprised than I should have been.

Most of them were not real manufacturers, but slapping their name on Chinese white brand phones.

Yup, surprised nobody said this in this thread for so long.

The movement for free and open source software has not achieved a world in which most people use only FOSS. But it has achieved a world where there is a lot of diversity in technology, including many Android smartphone brands you haven't heard of.

Maybe they are counting all the times Microsoft launched a new brand of phone and then unceremoniously killed off about 6 months later?
