Market trends
Why are smartphone prices increasing?
While Nothing has not officially commented on the reasons for these price revisions, it is worth noting that such changes have been seen across the Android smartphone market this year.
The trend is largely attributed to rising global memory and component costs.
The UK-based brand had also canceled plans for a CMF phone this year due to similar issues.
