Nothing or its sub-brand CMF may bring a new smartphone to the Indian market soon. The UK brand has posted teasers on social media, indicating the arrival of new products. Through its India X handle, Nothing has shared a Pokemon teaser featuring Bulbasaur. Although the company has not confirmed the moniker yet, it is largely being speculated that the CMF Phone 2 could break cover soon as a successor to last year's CMF Phone 1. Meanwhile, CMF is expected to unveil new audio and wearable products as well.

Nothing or CMF May Soon Release a New Smartphone

CMF has teased the arrival of four new CMF by Nothing devices through its X handle and community page. The company has shared four posters featuring characters from the Pokemon franchise — Bulbasaur, Gligar, Girafarig, and Hoothoot.

The codename Bulbasaur is believed to be associated with the CMF Phone 2, while Girafarig is rumoured to belong to Watch Pro 3. Gligar might be the CMF Neckband Pro 2, whereas Hoothoot could be a reference to Buds Pro 3.
