Nothing’s budget-friendly sub-brand, CMF, is already teasing its next release — the CMF Phone 2 Pro. After launching the original CMF Phone 1 in July of last year, the company is wasting no time bringing its successor to the market. This time around, the brand is responding directly to user feedback, with a few notable changes — including something many buyers have missed in recent years: a charger in the box.
Charger
The CMF Phone 2 Pro will ship with a charger in the box, but there’s a catch — only in India. The news was shared by Akis Evangelidis, Nothing’s co-founder, over on X (formerly Twitter). While this might seem like a small detail, it’s actually a big shift from the first CMF Phone, which didn’t include a charger at all, leading to some customer disappointment.
Although the statement specifically calls out India, the wording suggests that other regions may not receive the same treatment — at least not officially confirmed yet. Still, for Indian consumers, this is a win. It’s rare these days to see smartphones ship with a charger, especially in the budget-to-midrange segment.
Design
Design-wise, the CMF Phone 2 Pro will stick with the signature exposed screws on the back, something that made the first model stand out. Those screws aren’t just for show — they make the rear panel removable, adding a layer of DIY-friendliness and a slightly industrial aesthetic.
CMF promises that the new phone will feature a finish that is textured, tactile, and different. While they haven’t shown the full design yet, the early teasers suggest the brand is trying to refine and evolve its bold, minimalist identity without losing its core appeal.
Specs
While full details are yet to be officially confirmed, here’s what the rumor mill has to say about the CMF Phone 2 Pro:
- Display: 6.3-inch OLED panel with 1080p+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, which should offer smooth visuals and vibrant colors
- Chipset: MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400, a capable midrange SoC that’s expected to offer solid performance for daily tasks and moderate gaming
- Battery: A solid 5,000mAh capacity, along with 33W wired charging support — same as the original CMF Phone 1
If true, these specs place the CMF Phone 2 Pro comfortably in the upper-midrange category, especially for buyers looking for performance and display quality on a budget.
Launch
The official launch date is set for April 28, and the hype is already building. Based on the timing and growing excitement, it’s likely that the device will be available for purchase shortly after the announcement — especially in India, which appears to be a key market for CMF.
Expect more details, including price and full feature set, to drop during the launch event. Until then, we’ll be watching closely for any new leaks or confirmations.
