Nothing is canceling a follow-up CMF Phone this year, pointing to the current rise in RAM prices. Several outlets report that Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced the decision on X, saying the company was working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro but cannot proceed while memory costs remain at current levels. The co-founder says the company cannot build a phone that feels like a “genuine step forward” under pricing conditions created by the RAM market.
Reports describe the issue as part of a broader “RAMageddon” or memory crunch that affects smartphone pricing and supply. With RAM considered one of the most expensive parts of handsets, manufacturers face pressure either to raise retail prices or compromise on upgrades. Outlets also note that Nothing’s cancellation is framed as consistent with the CMF line’s budget-oriented positioning, implying that expected configurations would likely become “ridiculous” or uncompetitive if produced at those memory prices.
While Nothing does not indicate an end date for the problem, the immediate impact is clear: the CMF Phone 3 Pro successor will not launch this year.
