Mate 90 RS
Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.
We will keep this on your list as the date moves.
The day it is shown to the world
6 October 2026
tomorrow
Almost certainly between 30 September and 8 October 2026 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

The 80% range runs 30 Sept 2026 to 8 Oct 2026 (8 days wide), with a standard deviation of 4 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

What the hardware is
2 of 20 headline specs known so far. Values from a spec database describe a phone that exists; values from articles are what sources claim about one that does not yet. Each row says which it is, and where sources contradict each other we print both figures rather than choosing.
1 spec is reported two different ways. Those rows are marked below.
performance
- Chipset
- 麒麟 9050 Pro Sources disagree also reported as Kirin 9050 Pro
software
- Operating system
- HarmonyOS 7 Rumoured
Still unknown: screen size, panel type, refresh rate, resolution, ram, storage, main camera, front camera, rear cameras, battery, wired charging, height, width, thickness, weight, ingress protection, 5g, nfc.
Where you will be able to buy it
No report so far says which countries this one is for.
reports so far do not settle where it goes on sale.
| Country or region | When | Price | How it was put | Who says so |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | around 1 Oct 2026 ± 18 days | ¥12,999 16GB+512GB model | Reported | 1 source
across 2 reports, they roughly agree |
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.
How this date has moved
Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
