TL;DR
- Nothing’s sub-brand CMF will maintain its first launch occasion on September 26, 2023.
- An earlier leak revealed the launch would come with a smartwatch, earbuds, and USB-C charger.
- The announcement got here from the VP of Nothing India, suggesting it might be an India-exclusive launch.
Carl Pei introduced at the start of August that Nothing could be launching a sub-brand that goes by the title of CMF by Nothing. Not like Nothing, this sub-brand is targeted on affordability, so don’t count on it to roll out flagship-level gadgets just like the Nothing Cellphone 2. Now we all know that the sub-brand will probably be releasing its first merchandise later this month.
VP and GM of Nothing India, Manu Sharma, introduced on X (previously Twitter) that CMF by Nothing will maintain a launch occasion on September 26, 2023. Outdoors of the date, Sharma shares nothing else concerning the occasion. Nothing India’s VP making the announcement hints that the present will happen in India, and the introduced merchandise might be unique to that space.
Though Sharma didn’t reveal what could be on the keynote, we have already got a good suggestion of what is going to be unveiled. Close to the top of August, a sizeable leak gave us advertising banners for 3 CMF merchandise: the Watch Professional, Buds Professional, and a 65W GAN charger.
The Watch Professional, particularly, will probably be Nothing’s first-ever smartwatch. Primarily based on the leak, the Watch Professional has rounded edges just like the Apple Watch, has an aluminum alloy physique, and comes with an orange band. One other leak revealed the show might be a 1.96-inch AMOLED with always-on show (AOD) assist, 600 nits of brightness, and a 50Hz refresh charge. Different leaked specs embrace a built-in GPS with Bluetooth 5.3, IP68 water and dirt resistance, a 330mAh battery, and quite a lot of well being sensors. The kicker, although, is the Watch Professional is rumored to not run on Put on OS.
We additionally count on the costs of those devices to be Rs 4,500, Rs 3,500, and Rs 3,000 for the Watch Professional, Buds Professional, and charger, respectively. Transformed into US {dollars}, this could be $55 (Watch Professional), $43 (Buds Professional), and $37 (charger).
