Almost certainly between 10 October and 9 December 2026 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started The rumours alone Nothing quite like this has launched before, so there is no past pattern to lean on — everything here comes from what people are reporting.

Reports behind it 1 separate story Found across 1 article. 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 5 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

What changed our mind

Android Authority
Reported

Says revealed between 8 Sept 2026 and 31 Dec 2026

“Arm notes that we should expect a 10- to 12-core CPU configuration from at least one of its partners later this year, which is presumably the MediaTek Dimensity 9600.” Read it ↗

Strong track record Moved our date 233 days earlier

Android Authority usually calls things later than they happen, so we pulled this 13 days earlier before believing it.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 10 Oct 2026 to 9 Dec 2026 (60 days wide), with a standard deviation of 26 days. Starting model: uninformative+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).
