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
This line usually starts in one market and travels later, if it travels at all.
Huawei Nova normally launches in China first.
No report so far has named a specific country for this one. That is normal early on: the market is usually only spelled out close to launch.
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.
| Source | Which date | How far off | Called it | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GizmoChina | Reveal | Spot on | 4 days ahead | +49.43 |
