Ultimate Review: CMF Phone 2 Pro

The CMF Phone 2 Pro is Nothing’s bold midrange contender for 2025, combining a unique industrial design, 

a versatile triple‑camera system, and a bright AMOLED display. 

In this ultimate review, we’ll dive deep into every aspect of the device—from design to ecosystem integration—

so you can decide if it’s the right smartphone for you.

CMF Phone 2 Pro packs a rare 50MP telephoto lens, giving midrange buyers sharper zoom shots and real value without breaking the bank.


Design & Build

The CMF Phone 2 Pro continues Nothing’s tradition of bold aesthetics. 

“‘We wanted modularity back in phones,’ says CMF’s design lead.


At 7.8mm thickness and 185g weight, it’s the slimmest in the lineup yet. The exposed screws and attachment points remain signature elements, while finishes vary: sandstone orange, frosted glass black/green, metallic sheen white. 

Durability is improved with Panda Glass protection and an IP54 splash resistance rating. 

The back cover is user‑replaceable, a rarity in modern smartphones, giving it a modular edge.

Display

The phone boasts a 6.77‑inch AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and peak brightness of 3000 nits. 

Colors are vivid thanks to 10‑bit depth, and the always‑on display adds convenience. 

While competitors like Vivo T4 push brightness higher, the CMF Phone 2 Pro’s screen is still excellent for outdoor visibility and media consumption.

Performance & Hardware

“185 grams, 7.8mm thin.


Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro (4nm), the device balances efficiency and performance. The octa‑core CPU (4x Cortex‑A78 at 2.5GHz + 4x Cortex‑A55 at 2.0GHz) paired with Mali‑G615 GPU delivers smooth multitasking and respectable gaming. Storage options include 128GB/256GB with 8GB RAM, expandable via microSDXC—a feature missing in many rivals. Connectivity covers 5G, Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC.

Camera System

The triple rear setup is a highlight:

  • 50MP main sensor with dual‑pixel PDAF
  • 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom
  • 8MP ultrawide with 120° field of view

Video capture reaches 4K at 30fps with gyro‑EIS. The 16MP front camera handles selfies and video calls at 1080p. While the telephoto impresses, the ultrawide is weaker, and low‑light performance lags behind premium rivals. Still, for its price bracket, the inclusion of a dedicated telephoto is rare and valuable.

Battery & Charging

A 5000mAh battery ensures all‑day endurance. Wired charging peaks at 33W, which is slower than competitors offering 67W–90W. Reverse wired charging at 5W is a neat addition. Expect around 6–7 hours of screen‑on time under mixed use. Charging from 0–100% takes about 90 minutes.

Software & AI Features

Running Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.2, the phone promises 3 major OS upgrades. The UI is clean, minimal, and optimized for smoothness. AI features include smart photo editing, contextual suggestions, and adaptive battery management. Nothing’s ecosystem apps integrate seamlessly, though the lack of bloatware is the real win here.

Ecosystem Integration

The CMF Phone 2 Pro pairs well with Nothing’s accessories—earbuds, watches, and custom cases. The modular back cover system allows personalization. NFC enables easy pairing and payments. While not as expansive as Apple’s ecosystem, CMF’s accessories add value for loyal users.

Pricing

Model USD GBP
CMF Phone 2 Pro (128GB/8GB) $290–$327 £216–£220
CMF Phone 2 Pro (256GB/8GB) $340–$360 £250–£260

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Unique design, bright AMOLED display, expandable storage, versatile triple camera with telephoto, clean software, strong battery life.
  • Cons: Slow charging speeds, mediocre ultrawide camera, single speaker (no stereo), limited ingress protection.

Final Verdict


The CMF Phone 2 Pro is a bold midrange device that stands out with its design and telephoto camera. 

While charging speeds and audio setup could be better, the overall package offers excellent value. 

For users seeking a stylish phone with solid performance and unique features, it’s a compelling choice.
