New handhelds on the way?

Unread post by skinnie »

Hello all,
Hope you are well.
I was checking the gpsmap 66sr prices and found some reductions, same for gpsmap 65s...
While checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_G ... s#Models_2 I noticed that the 64s(sx) and 66s/st are already more than 3 years.
Do you think we will see this year new models?
Also, Fenix 7 launched yesterday went from Sony Chipset (as used in GPSMap 65/66 if not mistaken) to MediaTek/Airoha chipset (as Coros).
Do you think we will see this switch on handheld devices also?

Not seen any price reductions in the UK. If anything, I suspect the prices will go up as the inflation is on the up globally and sourcing of the primary material to make the chipsets is delayed.
