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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | around 25 Sept 2026 ± 11 days | ¥5,999 12GB/256GB model | Reported | 2 sources
across 11 reports, they roughly 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.
