In a shift from industry trends, tech brand Nothing is likely reintroducing chargers in smartphone packaging—but with a twist. Its budget sub-brand, CMF, will perhaps bundle a charger with the upcoming CMF Phone 2 Pro, reportedly exclusively in India, marking a U-turn after years of omitting adapters globally.

Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis confirmed the move on social media, responding to user demands for in-box chargers.
