“We’re not just going to churn out a new flagship every year for the sake of it, we want every upgrade to feel significant,” Pei said. “Just because the rest of the industry does things a certain way it doesn’t mean we will do the same.”
Nothing is releasing phones though, with the midrange Phone 4A series on the way. “4A will be a complete evolution over its predecessor across the board, from display, to camera, to overall performance,” Pei said, adding it will be closer to a flagship experience than the 3A series. He was light on the details, beyond the promise of premium materials and “bold new experimentation in terms of color.”
