In just a few years, Nothing has achieved notable success, and now the company is taking a step further by launching a sub-brand focused on providing affordable products. The CEO, Carl Pei, revealed the new venture, CMF by Nothing, during the company’s latest community update video. CMF, which stands for “Color, Material, and Finish,” aims to offer a diverse range of products with improved design accessibility through competitive pricing.
Among the products already in development under CMF are a smartwatch and a pair of earbuds, both scheduled for release later this year. Specific details about these items will be disclosed in the upcoming months. While Nothing emphasizes a “premium” feel and “design innovation,” CMF sets itself apart by concentrating on “clean design” and making it more accessible to the masses.
Notably, CMF operates independently with its own dedicated team, ensuring that the primary brand’s line of smartphones, earbuds, and other gadgets remains unaffected. This move echoes the CEO’s past experience with OnePlus, where he successfully launched the Nord sub-brand, continuing to produce budget-friendly smartphones, earbuds, and smartwatches.
It’s important to acknowledge that Nothing has already dipped its toes into the affordability realm, as evident in the reasonably priced Nothing Phone 2, priced at $600, significantly lower than rival flagship offerings. Additionally, the Ear 1 earbuds were initially launched at $100, but due to increased material costs, they were later adjusted to $150.
