The decision comes as memory component prices have risen so sharply that a hypothetical CMF Phone 2 Pro launched at current market rates would cost 50% more than the original 47,800 yen model. Evangelidis said the company was working on a successor but could not create a device that feels like a true evolution at a CMF-like price. He stressed the company would rather be upfront than ship something it is not proud of. Other CMF-branded products, including devices in entirely new categories, are still planned for 2026, and Nothing-branded smartphones are also expected soon. CEO Carl Pei recently warned that smartphone prices will rise further as memory now accounts for over half the cost in some models.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Nothing cancels its 2026 CMF Phone successor, saying memory costs would force a 50% price hike.
