CMF Phone 2 Pro launch and sale: What you need to know

CMF by Nothing is a design focused sub-brand launched by Nothing Technology Limited in 2023, with CMF Phones being part of it. Nothing is a consumer electronics company founded by Carl Pei, based in London and delivering technology that looks good, feels good, and is good for you. CMF is an acronym for Color, Material, and Finish and it reflects the brand’s philosophy of creating thoughtful design, quality materials and distinctive aesthetics, but at an affordable price. The latest CMF Phone 2 Pro is set to go on sale in India, with a starting price of Rs 18,999. This new smartphone from CMF, a brand associated with Nothing, brings several upgrades over its predecessor. It aims to offer strong performance and camera capabilities at an affordable price point. Here’s everything we know about the latest CMF Phone 2 Pro.

What makes the  CMF Phone 2 Pro special?

In the Rs 18,999 price segment, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is one of the few phones to offer such features at this budget. It also features a triple rear camera setup with a rare 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom for better photography versatility unlike many competitors. It also has a large, bright 6.77 AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh, and peaks at 3,000 nits, another screen that is one of the brightest in that price point. The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, which is slightly better than the Dimensity 7300 used in certain rivals. The other important differentiator is its modular design: the back covers and accessories such as the magnetic stands, the fisheye lens et al are interchangeable, giving a kind of customization. In addition, the phone is equipped with an Essential Key, a dedicated physical button to access an AI powered Essential Space app, which is a feature not often seen in this segment. It also comes IP54 dust and splash resistant, and ships with a charger in the box, as common complaints with the previous model. Lastly, it offers 3 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches, which is a good promise for long term software support compared to many phones in this price range. And all these features combined makes the CMF Phone 2 Pro a compelling, and distinctive Rs 18,999 smartphone.
