Numbers, for the curious
The 80% range runs 25 Aug 2026 to 22 Sept 2026 (28 days wide), with a standard deviation of 11 days. Starting model: uninformative+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| India | around 21 Aug 2026 ± 6 days | ₹49,999 8GB/256GB model | Reported | 3 sources
across 5 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.
