My guess. (Yes, a guess).
In Europe the JP Prime has been a success
and sales have a predicted steady level,
but in the USA there is a recent decline
so that there is still stock left.
They must be sold first.
Only then also the USA will get the new model.

I wish HP would bring out a superior hardware
with a very fast CPU. The HP Prime Pie
with Android 9 and enough Linux to provide full Xiac
or KhiCAS. BUT there's more: Modular Design.
Like those Moto Mods e.g. a separate PHONE module.
or perhaps rather a detachable phone piece
so that it doesn't work during exams
or perhaps just the HP Prime Exam Mode
that desables the radio parts.
In the USA the phones are "sold" with a small deposit
and a contract with monthly payments for a year or two thus binding you to the operator.
That also makes the price seem affordable.

Perhaps the Casio ClassPad design with a huge display is more suitable for being also a PHONE.
Half the screen can used as a virtual keyboard
or as a split screen for matrix and graph
or the full screen can used for the graph.

Anyway, there is no competition.
It's worth the risk.
