CMF by Nothing is back with a fresh upgrade — the CMF Phone 2 Pro — and it’s all set to make its debut in India later this month. After teasing us with a quick video clip on social media, the brand has got people talking about what’s next. With its official launch date locked in and some hints about design and features already out, here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming CMF Phone 2 Pro.
Design
The teaser shared by CMF on X (formerly Twitter) offers a good first look at the phone’s rear panel. It shows off a new textured finish, giving the phone a slightly rugged yet stylish feel. The CMF branding sits cleanly at the bottom, and there’s one very interesting detail — a visible screw on the back panel. This suggests that the phone might offer interchangeable or customisable back panels, just like the CMF Phone 1.
The shape of the phone leans towards a boxy design with flat edges, keeping up with the modern aesthetic that fans of the brand love. There’s also a noticeable speaker vent on the bottom edge, hinting at a potentially upgraded audio setup. According to Nothing’s CEO, Akis Evangelidis, the Phone 2 Pro is designed to offer an “enhanced hands-on experience,” though he didn’t go into specifics.
Launch
Mark your calendars — the CMF Phone 2 Pro will officially launch in India on April 28 at 6:30 pm IST. The event will not only showcase the new phone but also introduce new CMF audio products: the CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a, and Buds 2 Plus. Like previous CMF releases, everything will be available via Flipkart.
Features
While CMF hasn’t dropped a full spec sheet yet, we’ve got a few hints from leaks and certifications. The phone is expected to pack a triple-camera setup on the back — a noticeable upgrade over the dual-camera layout on the first CMF Phone. This could mean better photography capabilities and more flexibility for users who love capturing everything from landscapes to close-ups.
The back panel is also rumoured to be customisable. Leaked images earlier this year pointed to a modular design, possibly allowing users to swap panels or even accessories. Plus, the phone has already passed through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the IMEI database, confirming that it’s ready for launch.
Pricing
Official pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but we can make a good guess based on past launches. The original CMF Phone 1 came in at a starting price of Rs. 15,999. Since the CMF Phone 2 Pro promises more advanced features and design tweaks, it’s likely to be priced a little higher, possibly around Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 20,000. Still, CMF’s focus on affordability means it’ll probably stay competitive in the mid-range segment.
Here’s a quick comparison between the expected upgrades:
| Feature | CMF Phone 1 | CMF Phone 2 Pro (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Camera Setup | Dual camera | Triple camera |
| Custom Back Panel | Yes | Yes (enhanced) |
| Launch Price | ₹15,999 | ₹18,000–₹20,000 (expected) |
| Audio Accessories | None | CMF Buds 2 series |
With the launch just days away, the CMF Phone 2 Pro already looks like an exciting addition to the Nothing ecosystem. If you’re into phones that stand out with unique designs and smart features, this one should be on your radar.
