The 80% range runs 26 Feb 2027 to 4 May 2027 (67 days wide), with a standard deviation of 33 days. Starting model: series_cadence+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

Where you will be able to buy it
This line usually starts in one market and travels later, if it travels at all.
Galaxy A normally launches in India 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.
How this date has moved
Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
