First, the Honor X50 series remains popular in the market, and the release of the new phone will inevitably affect the sales of the X50 series, so Honor needs to carefully consider the release timing. On the other hand, the Honor X60 series, especially the Pro version, differs in positioning from previous models, reflecting Honor's latest strategic adjustments.
