Once the PineNote has helped get the Quartz64 board to full hardware support in the Linux kernel, I'm willing to bet Pine64 will consider making a new phone using the newer SoC. I don't know about using other better specs like a higher resolution screen though.
How many years from now this happens will probably depend on the ongoing chip shortage as well as the state of maturity for software on the current pinephone. And considering the PineNote is $400+ now, a newer phone using similar hardware could be similar in cost.
