Where you will be able to buy it

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	sometime in September 2026	¥2,999 8GB+128GB model	Reported	2 sources across 2 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.

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	8 days too early	39 days ahead	+23.8
GizmoChina	Reveal	9 days too early	9 days ahead	+20.81
