Perhaps you are confusing them with Saba, which are short and waxy, and is popularly used as a cooking banana. The photo appears to be of Namwah, which are also short and waxy, and look similar, but are a dessert banana.

The second one, Manzano, is definitely a dessert banana and one of the most common throughout the world.
