Dan, 26 Jul 2018A lot of their product strategies in the past year have bee... moreYes, Xiaomi is known for cannibalizing their own market for the reasons you mentioned. But that is not really valid strategy for niche devices with small target group. There are just not that many people interested in super-sized phablets. There is no market to oversaturate, so why bother developing more than one device? They did the thing with Mi Max Prime/Pro back in 2016, but it was more like an upgrade to the original design, not a competing product.

Actually their mid-rangers (say, phones that use SD 6xx) are quite fairly priced in comparison to the rest of their offer. Unfortunatelly it doesn't apply to Mi Max line. They are niche, they don't really belong to mid-range category. You either want one for any reason or you don't. If it doesn't fit your specific needs, you'll make better deal going for a regular Xiaomi phone e.g. something like Redmi Note 5 Pro (same spec, much cheaper) or Mi 8 SE (same price, much better spec).

    Deannielsen, 26 Jul 2018Why suspicious?Because global version hasn't been officialy released yet. Phones that are being sold now are probably based on xiaomi.eu ROM (semi-official international version of Chinese ROM). Latest version already supports Mi Max 3.

    This is not necessarily a bad thing. There are pros and cons of using xiaomi.eu over official global ROM (which is most likely 1-2 months away).

They are aware of the ... moreA lot of their product strategies in the past year have been geared toward the company's IPO valuation, including shortening product cycles and flooding the market with new models to boost sales and market share.

          By the numbers this has worked great, but there could be unintended consequences such as confusing customers (too many similar models), and pricing the Mi8 so low makes their mid-rangers look like poor value.

                      Xiaomi’s product marketing director Zhi Zhiyuan has confirmed that Xiaomi mi max 3 pro will not be released.

                        I order my mi max 3 6gb yesterday on Aliexpress, then the mi max 3 pro will not be my head phone i can see, but instead Honor note 10, thats not the worst thing.
                        Mi max 3 is so cheap, so its okay to buy 2 phones, always good to have a big display backup phone, besides my zenfone 3 ultra btw :-D

They are aware of the fact they have competition. Now many of those people who were keeping their money for a more premium variant of MM3, will go for Honor Note 10. If there ever were some actual plans for releasing Mi Max 3 Pro, it would make much more sense to keep everybody in a state of uncertainty till short before release.
