If you’re looking for an affordable yet feature-packed smartphone, the CMF Phone 2 Pro might be worth waiting for. As the second smartphone from Nothing’s CMF sub-brand, it promises a unique design, solid performance, and an attractive price point. Here’s everything we know so far.
CMF Phone 2 Pro: Expected India Price & Launch Date
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is set to launch in India very soon, with Flipkart already hosting a landing page for it. The launch date has been confirmed as Monday, 28 April, at 2:00 PM BST / 6:30 PM IST / 3:00 PM CET / 09:00 AM EST.
Expected Price (Based on Leaks)
- 6GB + 128GB: ₹16,999
- 8GB + 128GB: ₹17,999
- 8GB + 256GB: ₹19,999
If these prices hold, then it could be a strong competitor in the budget segment, going up against phones like the Realme Narzo 80 Pro and Moto Edge 60 Fuison.
CMF Phone 2 Pro: Design & Build
CMF’s new phone is unique, just like its predecessor, due to its removable back panel, a rare feature in modern smartphones. You can swap out the rear cover for different colors or textures, adding a bit of customization.
Key Design Features (Expected)
- It has a plastic body with a Gorilla Glass 7i-protected front.
- IP64 rating (dust and splash-resistant).
- Also features the iconic Rotating accessory hub at the bottom to attach add-ons.
- A 6.67-inch AMOLED display with thin bezels and a punch-hole camera.
Display: Compact & Vibrant
The phone features a 6.3-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED screen with:
- 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling.
- 1600 nits peak brightness (great for outdoor use).
- HDR10+ & Widevine L1 (for HD streaming on Netflix/Prime).
Since it’s a compact phone, one-handed use should be comfortable, which is a rarity in today’s oversized smartphone market.
Under The Hood of CMF Phone 2 Pro
Under the hood, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is powered by a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (Confirmed), the same chip found in the Vivo T4X and IQOO Z10X.
What to Expect? Processor?
- Solid and good day-to-day performance (AnTuTu score ~780,000).
- Decent gaming (up to 60fps in most titles).
- LPDDR4X RAM & UFS 2.2 storage (not the fastest, but decent for the price).
While it won’t match flagship speeds, it should handle multitasking and casual gaming without issues.
Cameras: Triple Rear Setup
- 50MP primary camera
- 8MP ultra-wide lens.
- 50MP Telephoto sensor (First time in this segment).
- 16MP front camera
Well not flagship quality, but 50 MP main camera should be good enough foor everyday shots. While the 50 MP Telephoto could be a game-changer in this segment.
CMF Phone 2 Pro: Battery & Charging
A 5000mAh battery with 50W fast charging keeps things running. Since the phone has a power-efficient chip and AMOLED display, its battery life should be solid.

- Minimal bloatware.
- 3 years of OS updates & 4 years of security patches.
Final Thoughts: Should You Wait for It?
If you want a well-built, compact phone with a removable back panel, the CMF Phone 2 Pro could be a great pick. The Dimensity 7400 chipset and AMOLED display make it a strong contender under ₹20,000.
