This is so true. They should do something along the lines of what some of those online personal projects suggest as e.g. this one: https://itsasonyblog.wordpress.com

So... how is that going to work?

Sony releases a normal sized smartphone (called Sony Phone) and a bigger version (called Sony Phone Pro) and ditches the small model?

Then they doesn't update the Sony Phone and Sony Phone Pro for years while Samsung and Apple offer improved models every year? Or will they improve the two models every year and sell them with the same name, leading to customer confusion (is this the 2019 model or the 2020 model or the new 2021 model?)

According to the blog:

"Instead of 18 different phones, Sony needs to only offer two concurrent models, one with a standard-sized screen and one with a large-sized screen. These two models are then replaced by upgraded versions once a year. A number will be added to the end of the name to specify what generation it belongs to, as is the case with the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro. The fourth-generation Sony TV Pro will be named “Sony TV 4 Pro”. The following year, it will be replaced by the “Sony TV 5 Pro”."

 

As for the image above, I don't think it matters what year the phones are from as the criticism is aimed at the fact that Sony at the time was selling 18 different phone models (each with different options for color and storage) on their website.
