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

Where we started When Sony usually launches No pattern for this model yet, so we started from the time of year Sony normally picks.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 16 Sept 2026 to 26 Oct 2026 (40 days wide), with a standard deviation of 27 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+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

Likely one region first Based on how this product line usually launches

This line usually starts in one market and travels later, if it travels at all.

Xperia normally launches in Japan 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.
