CMF has canceled the launch of its Phone 3 Pro model due to steep inflation in component costs, particularly memory chipsets. The launch was originally scheduled for 2026. As a strategic alternative, Nothing Inc. has unveiled the Phone (b) series, hinted via a GIF on the X platform. The series is expected to include two variants: a standard model and a Pro model.
Pricing Strategy
The Phone (b) series is likely to be priced around Rs 18,999 for both the standard and Pro models, making it a budget-friendly option for consumers.
Android 17 Rollout
Nothing Inc. has announced plans to begin beta testing for select models and release Android 17-based NothingOS 5.0 in the coming months. Eligible devices include those launched in 2025 and 2026, such as the Nothing Phone 2, Phone 2a, Phone 3 series, and CMF Phone 2 Pro.
