Samsungs wants us to spell its models in funny way
Share:
According to us, this is ridiculous because often, there is no option to use the superscript. In many places, such as an article or a phone specifications titles, one cannot use it even if they want to. Google, Yahoo!, and all other search engines also don’t know “what superscript means” and recognize “Soulb” just as “Soulb”, although for Samsung it is not correct.
We advise Samsung, all other manufacturers, carriers and their PRs: please, use better model naming scheme, and don’t ask us to do the impossible.
As you can see in the attached image of Samsung’s very own press release (left), we are not the only ones who type it as “Soulb” instead of using superscript.
Attached (right) is also Samsung’s “clarification material”, explaining how to type and pronounce the new model.
Regards,
PhoneArena Team.

As a similar example, the new Razr and enV, Razr2 and enV2 have a subscripts in their names, even though it's not pronounced differently. I think Samsung and Motorola did this to be unique.

Why don't Phone Arena Team stick to reviewing phones instead of press releases and handset namings. Samsung must be doing something right to be number two globally. Maybe its down to their naming's.
