It's official
We will keep this on your list as the date moves.
This one launched before we started watching.
The real dates are above. We never made a guess for it, so there is nothing to grade — and we would rather show you nothing than invent a prediction after the fact.
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.
from $1,800
Stated as fact, but by only one or two sources.
The article wrote a bare currency symbol, so we have assumed USD.

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
Reports place it in several parts of the world, so a broad release looks likely.
2 regions named across separate blocs.
| Country or region | When | Price | How it was put | Who says so |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| India | between 27 Jul 2026 and 29 Jul 2026 | not known yet | Reported | 1 source
across 1 report |
| United Kingdom | between 25 Jul 2026 and 2 Aug 2026 | not known yet | Reported | 2 sources
across 12 reports, they closely 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.
