Nothing Scraps CMF Phone 3 Pro as Memory Costs Rise, Teases New Phone Next Month

3 articles · Updated · India Today · Jun 19

Summary

  • Nothing said it will not launch a CMF Phone 3 Pro this year, with co-founder Akis Evangelidis saying current memory prices make a meaningful upgrade too expensive for CMF’s price band.
  • The company instead signaled another smartphone is coming soon under the main Nothing brand, with India launch rumors pointing to next month.
  • Nothing has already released the Phone 4a and Phone 4a Pro this year, and a recent teaser for a possible Series b device suggests the smartphone lineup is still expanding.
  • Earlier leaks had tied the canceled CMF successor to a metal frame, redesigned camera module, Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and 5,500mAh battery, though tipsters now say that hardware may reappear as a Nothing-branded phone.
