Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.

I hope It will still have easy openable bootloader, so I could sideload whatever rom I want.

I wonder how many highly paid marketing executives it took to come up with that name.
