Nothing to Build CMF as a Global Brand from India, Moves Key Roles to Gurgaon Office
CMF by Nothing, the sub-brand of tech company Nothing, is set for a major change. The company has confirmed that it will move its global marketing operations to India.
This announcement was made by Nothing’s co-founder and India President Akis Evangelidis. He shared that the company wants to build CMF into a global brand, starting from India.
As part of this plan, the Gurgaon office will now become the base for several important global roles. Job openings have already gone live for key positions like product marketing, social media, PR, and content creation, all based in Gurgaon.
Evangelidis said this decision is part of a long-term vision. He believes the move will help the company work faster and stay close to the market that matters most.
He added that CMF has a big opportunity to grow and do something different. Shifting the marketing team to India will help the brand move quickly, respond to local needs, and build a stronger foundation.
CMF is known for offering value-for-money products with a focus on design. Its range includes earbuds, accessories, and smartphones. The new move is expected to help the brand understand local users better and launch products and campaigns more efficiently.
Nothing’s founder Carl Pei also commented on the decision. He said that India is CMF’s fastest-growing and most important market. He added that India is playing a big role in the future of tech and the company is excited to build for the world from India.
Nothing already manufactures a large number of its products in India. With this shift in global roles, India is becoming more than just a manufacturing base. It is now also a hub for leadership and innovation.
This move follows a larger trend in the tech industry. With support from government programs like Make in India and the PLI scheme, more tech companies are now choosing India as their global operations base.
Nothing has started rolling out the new Nothing OS 4.0 Open Beta 2 update for its latest devices — the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. The update size is around 55.44 MB and focuses mainly on bug fixes and performance improvements rather than introducing new features.
According to a post on the Nothing Community forum, the update improves camera preview accuracy. Now, photos taken at certain zoom levels will more closely match what users see in the viewfinder. This helps ensure more accurate photo results.
In addition, the stability of Essential Apps has been optimized for a smoother experience. Many users had reported high memory usage notifications earlier — Nothing claims to have addressed this issue with the latest update.
However, there are no new features added in this beta version. Users can expect bigger visual changes, including new status bar icons, in the upcoming stable Nothing OS 4.0 update, which is expected to arrive by the end of November 2025.
After installation, users reported that the phone performs normally with no connectivity or performance issues. Features like calling, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth continue to work smoothly.
Nothing fans are now eagerly waiting for the Nothing OS 4.0 stable release, hoping for more visual changes and added functionality in the next update.

You don’t need to root your device or install a custom launcher — just download Dock Walls from the Play Store, enable the dock wallpaper, and adjust the transparency and color to your liking.
With this quick setup, your Nothing Phone will instantly get that Liquid Glass floating dock effect — sleek, minimal, and beautiful.
Nothing has officially unveiled its new smartphone — the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite. The company posted the launch details around 6:30 PM, revealing a brand-new design and some interesting features. As the name suggests, this is the “Lite” version of the Nothing Phone (3a), but the design and hardware are quite different.
Design & Build
The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite comes in two colors – Black and White, featuring a triple-camera setup at the back. The overall rear design is completely new, looking somewhat similar to the CMF Phone 2 Pro in terms of the camera layout. The phone includes a single LED Glyph light, unlike the multiple LED strips seen on the higher-end models. The back panel appears to have a glass finish, giving it a premium look.
Display
The phone sports a 6.77-inch flexible AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 3000 nits of peak brightness, offering the same quality as the CMF Phone 2 Pro display.
Performance
Under the hood, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, the same processor used in the CMF Phone 2 Pro. It runs on Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15.
Camera
The device features a 50MP main sensor with EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), but no OIS. It also includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro sensor. On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera.
Battery & Charging
The phone packs a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. However, no charger is included in the box — users will only get the phone, a case, a charging cable, and documentation.
Storage Options
Two variants will be available:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage
The storage type is UFS 2.2, and it also supports microSD card expansion up to 2TB.
Software & Updates
Nothing promises 3 major Android updates and 6 years of security patches. The device also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor and IP54 water and dust resistance.
Pricing & Availability
Currently, the pricing is only revealed in Euros, with no official information about the India launch yet. Based on conversions, the phone could be priced between Rs 19,000 to Rs 21,000 in India, sitting between the Nothing Phone (3a) and CMF Phone 2 Pro in the lineup.
