Numbers, for the curious
The 80% range runs 2 Oct 2026 to 16 Oct 2026 (14 days wide), with a standard deviation of 6 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

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.
¥1,699
for the 6GB+128GB model — nobody has priced the entry version yet

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
This line usually starts in one market and travels later, if it travels at all.
Vivo Y normally launches in China 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.
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.
| Source | Which date | How far off | Called it | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IT之家 (ITHome) | On sale | Spot on | 5 days ahead | +51.31 |
| IT之家 (ITHome) | On sale | Spot on | 3 days ahead | +47.12 |
