Numbers, for the curious
The 80% range runs 13 Sept 2026 to 2 Oct 2026 (19 days wide), with a standard deviation of 8 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

Prices reported elsewhere
Currencies we have a price for but no matching launch market. As reported, in the currency they were quoted in — we never convert between currencies, because a converted figure is a number nobody actually printed.

for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model — nobody has priced the entry version yet

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
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | between 3 Sept 2026 and 30 Sept 2026 | from €599 | Reported | 2 sources
across 3 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.
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 | On sale | Spot on | 19 days ahead | +56.09 |
| HDblog | On sale | 7 days too early | 20 days ahead | +26.87 |
| GSMArena | On sale | 10 days too early | 20 days ahead | +18.06 |
