"Don't cheap out on power supply", that's the saying. If the company is putting inferior components in different countries, then power supply reviews has no meaning. Who knows if they doing the same thing on their top models? Is this even right? Don't take me wrong, power supply determine the life of the pc. phone manufacturers & power supply manufacturers are not a good comparison.
Dude, it's complicated. On one hand, I agree that it's not ideal, that the model numbers are too similar, but overall I think it's good for the people in India to have such models.
They took a wide input voltage model and they made it 230v only, which means they were able to use cheaper components in the Active PFC circuit (because boosting 110v to 400v is harder than boost 230v to 400v, beefier components are required for 110-230v), the primary capacitor may also not need to be that good performance, and they've made some cuts in other places to bring the price down and make it more affordable for people in India.
If it's a choice between Indian people buying shitty no-name crap that says 600w but actually can barely do 350w, and a cut down Cooler Master psu, I'd rather go with that Cooler Master.
Every time I check a review, I then look at the full model for that power supply .... for example on Amazon I look down at the SKU and the model code and then also check the pictures of the item (though the seller may reuse pictures for multiple such sub-models)
