Exciting news from the CMF by Nothing corner! Their latest device, the CMF Phone 2 Pro, has officially arrived, and if you’re hunting for a new phone that gives you more bang for your buck without looking like every other slab out there, you’ll want to pay attention. This one’s packing a few surprises, including something you rarely see in this price range: a dedicated telephoto camera!
CMF, as we know, is Nothing’s way of bringing their unique design philosophy and user-first approach to a wider, more budget-conscious audience. The original CMF Phone was a solid start, but the “Pro” model? They’ve definitely kicked things up a notch.
The biggest eye-catcher here has to be the camera setup on the back. Forget the basic main + macro/depth combo often seen on affordable phones. The CMF Phone 2 Pro steps up with a triple lens system: a 50MP main camera that pulls in more light thanks to a larger sensor, a dedicated 50MP telephoto lens giving you a proper 2x optical zoom (that’s a pretty neat trick for this price!), and an 8MP ultrawide for fitting everything in. There’s also a 16MP camera up front for your selfies. That telephoto is genuinely exciting and adds a layer of photographic versatility that’s hard to find without spending a lot more.
But CMF is all about that little extra something, and with the Phone 2 Pro, they’re introducing an “Accessory Point.” This isn’t just a design quirk; it’s a functional spot where you can attach optional modular accessories. Think add-on lenses like a macro or a fisheye (how cool is that?!), or even a handy wallet and kickstand combo. It’s a fresh, dare I say fun, approach to making your phone more yours.
Underneath that distinct CMF exterior, you’ll find some solid performance too. The Phone 2 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G chipset, which is a capable performer for daily tasks and gaming. It comes with 8GB of RAM, and you can grab it with up to 256GB of storage, plus you can still expand that with a microSD card – a big win in my book!
The display is a lovely 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with a crisp 1080p resolution and a buttery smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It gets plenty bright too, even outdoors. Keeping everything running is a beefy 5000mAh battery that supports 33W wired fast charging. And get this – CMF is actually putting the charger in the box. Yes!
On the software side, it runs Nothing OS 3.2 based on the latest Android 15, and CMF is promising good support with 3 major OS updates and 6 years of security patches. Nice! Other goodies include NFC for easy payments, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and improved IP54 dust and splash resistance.
Coming in at a really competitive starting price – we’re talking around the sub-$300/ÂŁ250 mark in many regions – the CMF Phone 2 Pro looks like a serious contender in the crowded mid-range space. It combines that unique CMF design flair with genuinely useful features like a telephoto camera and those fun modular accessories.
If you’re looking for something a bit different that doesn’t skimp on key features like cameras and expandable storage, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is definitely worth checking out. Pre-orders are kicking off now, so keep an eye out!
