Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

We will keep this on your list as the date moves.

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

Good guess · Right month, maybe not the day

18 January 2027

in about 4 months

Almost certainly between 5 January and 2 February 2027 — 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 Its own release rhythm This line has launched on a steady schedule, so we started from when the next one is due.

Reports behind it 12 separate stories Found across 146 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 4 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

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.

US dollar Widely reported

from $1,400

Reports range from $1,400 to $1,499.

Several independent sources land on this figure.

The article wrote a bare currency symbol, so we have assumed USD.

Where you will be able to buy it

Probably worldwide Based on how this product line usually launches

Going on what this line normally does, not on anything said about this phone yet.

only Europe reported so far.

Country or region	When	Price	How it was put	Who says so
Europe	sometime in December 2026	not known yet	Called a rumour	1 source across 1 report

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.

How this date has moved

Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
