CMF Phone 2 Pro: Nothing’s Affordable Flagship Arrives
Nothing has finally dropped the curtain on its much-anticipated CMF Phone 2 Pro. This launch is drawing eyes for a reason. The phone isn’t just another mid-range addition—it’s got specs usually reserved for pricier devices, but starts at just ₹18,999 for 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. For folks who need more space, the 8GB/256GB variant goes for ₹19,999. Starting May 6, 2025, you’ll find this device on Flipkart, Croma, Vijay Sales, and various retail stores across India. And if you care about looks, you get four choices: White, Black, Orange, and Light Green.
Pricing in this range isn’t new, but features like these at this price? That’s where the CMF Phone 2 Pro gets interesting. The device boasts the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G chipset—an upgrade known for delivering smooth performance on everything from gaming to heavy multitasking. Couple that with a massive 6.77-inch FHD+ display pumping out a silky 120Hz refresh rate, and you’re talking about a premium viewing experience, whether you’re binging videos or doom-scrolling late at night. Unlocking your phone is slick too, thanks to the in-screen optical fingerprint sensor, so you don’t need to fumble around in the dark.
Flagship Features Without the Usual Flagship Price
Cameras are usually where budget phones cut corners, but here you get a triple-lens setup: a 50MP main shooter, a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide camera for sweeping landscapes or group shots. These cameras aren’t just for show—they can shoot crisp 4K videos, letting you up your Instagram and YouTube game. Up front, you’ve got a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls, so you’ll look sharp even on a sleepy Monday morning.
Battery anxiety? The 5,000mAh cell inside promises up to two days of use for light to moderate users. And when you finally do need juice, 45W wired fast charging gives you hours of power in just minutes. That means less time tethered to the wall, more time out and about. The phone runs on Nothing OS 3.2 based on Android 15 right out of the box. Unlike some budget phones that fizzle on updates, this one promises you three years of Android upgrades and up to six years of security patches. That’s a rare promise at this price level, giving peace of mind to anyone who’s tired of buying a new device every year or two.
Other highlights? The CMF Phone 2 Pro packs Wi-Fi 6 for snappy downloads, Bluetooth 5.3 for flawless wireless connectivity, and an IP54 rating—so it can handle dust and the odd splash of water. There’s even an X-axis linear vibrator, something small but makes gaming and typing feel more responsive. For a device at this price, these touches stand out.
As if all that wasn’t enough, Nothing also used the event to reveal its CMF Buds 2 series—pushing further into affordable, feature-packed tech that doesn’t look or feel cheap. It looks like Nothing’s aiming to shake things up, offering a real alternative for anyone in India fed up with overpriced flagships or bland budget phones.
