HP 12c manufactured in Phillipines

[sat1410]

I believe there is at least one more version of the so-called "12C+" that has been out in the wild since ~ late 2015. The CPU was changed to the SAM4L series, with more details discussed starting with this post and photos in this post. Even though things still look the same externally, does it warrant its own entry on the list?
