One of the biggest weaknesses of the CMF Phone 1 was poor low light photography, and the CMF Phone 2’s camera system is expected to solve this issue. Atleast the customers are expecting it! According to rumors, the CMF Phone 2 will come with a triple camera configuration, which is a major upgrade from its predecessor with only a dual camera. So you may expect better clicks this time! The aluminium texture on the back panel is also teased in recent teasers, which will make the back panel more refined and durable. The upcoming CMF Phone 2 is expected to have the same modular design as the CMF Phone 1, but with better performance, better design and better camera features. We’ve got everything we know about this much awaited smartphone so far.
CMF Phone 2: Design
The Phone 2 is expected to come with a redesigned back that has a textured matte finish that is more premium than the polycarbonate body of the phone it replaces. Recent teasers have also pointed to the aluminium texture on the back panel, which will make it feel more refined and durable. It will also retain its famous customizable back panel, and as a quirky mid-range market differentiator, CMF will also still have the ability to attach accessories. There is also the possibility that a triple camera is in the picture, which has increased from the dual camera used in the CMF Phone 1. CMF shines through with the camera module looking sleek and integrated well into the rear design.
Camera Upgrades
CMF’s tagline of ‘In search of the perfect shot’ suggests that this time around they are focusing on camera improvements. Here’s what we might see:
-
Expected to help with 50MP Main Camera for sharp and vibrant photos, as well as optical image stabilization (OIS).
-
The 8MP Ultrawide Lens for landscapes and group shots is a new addition.
-
2MP Depth or Macro Sensor: Expected for close up photography or better portrait shots.
-
High Quality 16MP Front Camera for high quality selfies and video calls, and also teleconferencing.
These upgrades are meant to make the Phone 2 more versatile for photography lovers and outperform its predecessor.
Display and Performance
According to reports, the Phone 2 will come with a 6.3-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 2,500 nits for bright and vivid display. At 6.7 inches, the Phone 1’s screen is slightly smaller than the average flagship, but this display is smaller without sacrificing quality. The phone is expected to be powered under the hood by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. With this combination, multitasking, gaming, and everyday use should be fast.
Battery and Charging
Battery life for daily usage will be solid with a 5,000mAh battery on the CMF Phone 2. It is supposed to offer 50W fast wired charging to support quick recharges if required. There's no evidence just yet that it will support wireless charging but, given how convenient wireless charging is, that would be the better choice.
CMF Phone 2: Price and Availability
According to rumors, the CMF Phone 2 will be available at a price starting at ₹17,999 for the base variant (8GB RAM + 128GB storage) and ₹19,999 for the top model with 256GB storage. Its affordable prices also put themselves on the list as a good choice for those who choose a budget, but wish to purchase a premium feature. However, the phone’s official launch date has not been confirmed yet, and reports say the phone will be launched in India in May 2025. CMF has already teased tech enthusiasts on social media with teasers.
