RAM prices halt new CMF phone launch
20 Jun
Summary
- A successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro will not be released this year.
- Rising memory costs make a new CMF phone economically unviable.
- Memory is now the most expensive component in smartphones.
CMF, a brand associated with Nothing, has announced that a successor to its CMF Phone 2 Pro will not be launched this year. The decision stems from the significant increase in memory component prices.
Co-founder Akis Evangelidis revealed that current RAM costs make it impossible to develop a meaningful upgrade at a reasonable price. This follows earlier statements from CEO Carl Pei, who noted that memory costs for mid-range phones have doubled and are now the most expensive part of a smartphone.
The escalating memory prices are impacting the entire industry, with major manufacturers facing similar unsustainable cost situations.
Despite the absence of a new CMF phone this year, the brand is preparing to launch several new products and explore entirely new categories, indicating continued innovation.
