Predicted release window
Nov 2028–Jan 2029
Our estimate uses 3 releases and a rounded average gap of 39 months, added to Edge 550 / 850’s 9 Sep 2025 release, with a ±1 month range. This is a cadence estimate, not a leaked date.
The last three paired 5xx/8xx launches provide the estimate. Earlier 520 and 820 launches are not treated as successive generations of one model.
Past gaps: 48, 29 months. Small sample; naming and product strategy can change.
