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.
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.
only China reported so far.
| Country or region | When | Price | How it was put | Who says so |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | around 14 Aug 2026 ± 35 days | not known yet | Reported | 1 source
across 1 report |
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.
| Source | Which date | How far off | Called it | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canaltech | Reveal | Spot on | 1 days ahead | +39.97 |
