Notes: India launch 18 Oct 2024; announced date set to the same day (press coverage says announced 18 Oct 2024; sale start not confirmed, one listing says 24 Oct). Chipset conflict: Dimensity 6300 per press coverage/most sources vs Exynos 1330 on one press coverage page and Europe model; Dimensity 6300 used. Main sensor 1/2.76 from press coverage and one review; OIS left null (one review says no OIS). Charger sold separately per report. Security updates to 31 Oct 2030, six OS upgrades. Launch OS not found. Ignore Rs 12,499/13,999 prices on press coverage/Bajaj (pre-launch or wrong).
