Notes: Launch prices are the effective prices reported by press coverage (MRPs 45,999/48,999/52,999); TechOutlook wrongly listed 8/128 and 8/256 both at 41,999. India sale date unclear (press coverage sale report dated 11 Mar 2025; another source says sale began at launch), so releasedIndia null. Sept 2025 India price cut to Rs 35,999 start reported by Notebookcheck (no exact date, so no current row). Update policy: six OS generations + six years security (UK page). Wireless charging, sensor sizes not confirmed. Researched via search-index extracts only.
