The RAM crisis just killed Nothing’s next budget phone — CMF Phone 3 Pro scrapped as co-founder says ‘we can’t build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward’

• A Nothing exec has announced that there won’t be a new CMF phone this year
• They say the ongoing RAM crisis is to blame
• There will, however, be other CMF products and other Nothing phones

The CMF Phone 2 Pro from Nothing combined distinctive looks with a bargain price when it launched last year, but if you’ve been hoping for a CMF Phone 3 Pro this year, you’re out of luck, as the company has just confirmed that no new models are coming.

Posting on X, Nothing’s co-founder Akis Evangelidis claimed that while the company was previously working on a successor, “with memory prices where they are right now, we can’t build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.”
