I'm currently looking at mobile phones. PBTech at least seems to have the same model with marginally different SKUs, e.g.:

As far as I can tell, only the SKU suffix is different and from context I'm picking it depends on the supplier/source of the product

 

  • -VF = vodafone
  • -2D = 2degress
  • -SP = Spark

Some are "-SM". Is this Samsung or am I missing someone obvious?

 

And (for 4G at least) any practical difference between suppliers? They all have the full list of compatible networks. I think for 5G you need to match phone to network? Not every specific models/colour is available with every suffix.
