Where you will be able to buy it

Worldwide Based on what has been reported about this phone

Reports place it in several parts of the world, so a broad release looks likely.

2 regions named across separate blocs.

Country or region When Price How it was put Who says so
China around 28 Sept 2026 ± 5 days from ¥6,499 Reported 5 sources
across 27 reports, they closely agree
Europe around 28 Sept 2026 ± 78 days not known yet Reported 2 sources
across 8 reports, they disagree quite a bit

These are the places that have actually been mentioned in reports about this phone. A country missing from this list has not been ruled out — nobody writing about an unreleased phone lists the countries it is skipping, so we cannot tell either way.
