There are a bunch of subbrands but there are also a lot of genuine small Android phone companies, especially in China.

Some of these serve some interesting niches that might now disappear due to this DRAM supply issue, e.g. Unihertz for extra small phones or CAT for extra durable worksite phones.

Is there any 'guide' to this ecosystem...because 'odd niche communications gear' is always interesting.

Is it a coincidence that Oppo sounds a lot like how Chinese people sound when they say Apple?
