The CMF Phone 2 Pro is no longer available at Nothing, and a successor is not planned for the time being
Last year, the Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro offered a 120Hz AMOLED display, a 50MP telephoto camera and a Dimensity 7300 Pro for $279. Due to the DRAM crisis, Nothing now has to remove this model from its lineup and put its successor on hold.
The DRAM crisis is not only making mid-range and flagship smartphones more expensive. The rapidly rising costs of RAM and flash storage are even more noticeable in cheaper models. Nothing is now responding by removing the affordable CMF Phone 2 Pro from its lineup. The device can still be found at some retailers, but it is no longer listed on Nothing’s official website.
Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis also confirmed in the X post embedded below that no new CMF Phone will launch in 2026. Nothing had been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but given the very high prices for DRAM and NAND, the company simply would not be able to bring a smartphone to market that offers better specs than the CMF Phone 2 Pro while still being priced appropriately for Nothing’s budget CMF sub-brand.
Instead, Nothing plans to focus on other product categories and launch several new CMF products that are not as heavily affected by the DRAM crisis. This change in plans only affects CMF Phones, not Nothing Phones, which are usually positioned at somewhat higher prices and therefore have more room to offset higher memory costs either through hardware compromises or a price increase. The DRAM crisis is expected to last for several more years, so anyone looking for an affordable mid-range smartphone in the coming months may be better off considering last year’s models rather than waiting for new ones.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
