Nothing's budget brand CMF will not release a successor to the Phone Pro 2 this year. The company has pushed its next phone launch to 2025.
CMF by Nothing, the affordable smartphone line under Nothing's umbrella, will skip a 2024 release cycle. The brand's last device, the Phone Pro 2, launched earlier this year but won't receive a direct follow-up before year's end.
The decision aligns with Nothing's broader strategy of spacing out product launches across its portfolio. The parent company has focused on establishing CMF as a distinct brand in the budget segment, competing against manufacturers like Realme and Poco.
No specific timeline for the next CMF phone has been announced, though the company confirmed it will arrive in 2025. Nothing has been selective with its release schedule, prioritizing quality and market positioning over rapid iteration.
The delay gives CMF more time to refine its product strategy and potentially introduce new features or improvements for the next generation.
