CMF is carrying forward the Phone 1's design language with its new Phone 2 Pro, but it adds a bunch of new features without pushing the price beyond $300. The CMF Phone 2 Pro brings the Essential Key from Nothing Phone 3a series, adds a new telephoto sensor, and trims down its weight and size. Here are five things you should know about the new Nothing phone launched by its sub-brand, CMF.
CMF's new phone measures just 7.8mm thick and weighs 185 grams, making it the thinnest and lightest Nothing smartphone to date. The numbers translate to a comfortable in-hand feel and an easy-to-hold device. It offers a unibody design and is rated IP54 for dust and splash resistance.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro keeps the modular design, allowing you to personalize your phone with accessories like the Universal Cover. You can also make it more functional with attachable fisheye or macro lenses. However, accessory availability will vary by region. The new CMF phone will be available in four color options, namely, Orange, Light Green, White, and Black.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro features a 6.77-inch flexible AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits (up from 2,000 nits on the Phone 1). Outdoor brightness has also been boosted to 1,300 nits for better legibility under harsh sunlight. Like its predecessor, it supports HDR10+, a 120Hz refresh rate, and FHD resolution.
Unlike the CMF Phone 1, the Phone 2 Pro sports a dedicated 50MP telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom and up to 20x digital zoom. It joins a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultrawide lens. Software enhancements like Truelens Engine 3.0 and Ultra XDR are said to improve the photography experience. On the front, you get the same 16MP selfie shooter.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro houeses the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, which is a slight upgrade over the Dimensity 7300 in Phone 1. It comes with 8GB RAM across both storage variants (128GB and 256GB), with support for up to 2TB of expandable storage via microSD.
The Phone 2 Pro runs Nothing OS 3.2 based on Android 15 and is promised three years of Android updates and six years of security patches. It has the same 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging and 5W reverse wired charging. Nothing claims the battery will retain 90% health after 1,200 charging cycles.
In India, the CMF Phone 2 Pro price starts at 18,999 Indian Rupees for the 8GB/128GB model. The new CMF phone is priced at $279 in the U.S. and will be made available through Nothing's developer-focused Beta Program. It costs 219 British pounds in the U.K.
