It's official

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

1 October 2026

Confirmed · 4 days ago

For the record, we had guessed 30 Sept 2026 — 1 days too early.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.
Where we started When Huawei usually launches No pattern for this model yet, so we started from the time of year Huawei normally picks.
Reports behind it 7 separate stories Found across 25 articles. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.
Since last time No change Last changed on 30 Sept 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

What the hardware is

Every headline spec is filled in. 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.

Where you will be able to buy it

Not known yet Not enough to go on yet

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 ± 6 days ¥5,999
12GB+256GB model
 Reported 4 sources
across 17 reports, they closely 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.

Who called it right

Now that the real date is known, everyone who made a prediction gets marked. "Too late" means they said a later date than what actually happened.
