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.

US dollar Reported

from $499

Stated as fact, but by only one or two sources.

The article wrote a bare currency symbol, so we have assumed USD.

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.

Not known yet Not enough to go on yet

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 between 23 Mar 2026 and 31 Dec 2026 not known yet Called a rumour 1 source

Japan 14 October 2026 ¥79,980

India around 23 Sept 2026 ± 6 days from ₹49,999 Reported 4 sources

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.
