I never really understood the reason for having this kind of segmentation. Does it really help the consumers?

HTC had done this 8 months back with its line of Android and Windows phones. Samsung’s seems to be following HTC’s foot steps.

The only reason I can think of on why manufacturer do this is to clear the supply chain items. Can you think of any reason why Samsung would do something like this?
