Samsung’s L-ish Model Numbers

[Update 2016-09-02: the poster of the original info has updated this post, and this post therefore turns out to be mostly untrue. Apologies to Samsung.]

A slow hand clap for Samsung, who have managed to create versions of the S4 Mini phone with model numbers (among others):

  • GT-i9195
  • GT-i9195L (big-ell)
  • GT-i9195i (small-eye)
  • GT-i9195l (small-ell)

And of course, the small-ell variant, as well as being case-confusable with the big-ell variant and visually confusable with the small-eye variant if it’s written with a capital I as, say, here, is in fact an entirely different phone with a different CPU and doesn’t support the same aftermarket firmware images that all of the other variants do.

See this post for the terrible details.
