After the recent launch of the Honor 9X, Honor president George Zhao accepted an exclusive interview with some media interviewers. Of the questions asked, one particular question was particularly interesting, where the interviewer asked whether we’d see anymore Max and Note devices in the future. According to George Zhao, it’s definitely possible.
He claims that while the Max and Note devices aren’t exactly their typical type of devices, the market for larger devices like these is also relatively stable. They don’t want to consistently keep releasing larger devices into the market every year however because as stable as the market is, it’s still a fairly limited and niche market. Thus, they’ve been spacing out the launches of big devices to keep things from becoming oversaturated.
He goes on to reassure fans of the Honor Max and Note series that both these lines won’t be cut off anytime soon. The only changes are their update frequency, and there will definitely be device for both product lines in the future. This is actually nice to hear after the recent news of Xiaomi killing off their Mi Max and Mi Note product lines.
What this means for us is that there will probably be a span of at least 1 – 2 years between each Honor Max and Honor Note device, which honestly isn’t too bad. It might actually be a bit refreshing compared to the current climate where devices get replaces mere months after launch. This allows for bigger changes to be made between iterations, and gives better incentive to upgrade to a new model when it eventually launches.
