Nothing Unveils CMF Phone 2 Pro: A Chic, Affordable Android with Modular Features
Alternative technology brand Nothing has officially unveiled its newest budget-friendly smartphone — the CMF Phone 2 Pro — as part of its economical CMF series. With a price tag of only $279, this new Android device is now open for preorder and is expected to ship on May 7.
However, U.S. buyers will need to navigate a small process to secure theirs early. Preorders in the United States are currently restricted to members of the Nothing Beta Program. The good news is that signing up is easy: simply add the phone to your shopping cart on Nothing’s website, and you’ll be prompted to register.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is offered in three elegant colors — orange, black, and white — and comes equipped with 256GB of internal storage. What truly differentiates this phone is its modular design. Users can interchange camera lenses and attach a variety of accessories, including fisheye and macro lenses, a lanyard, a case, and a wallet-kickstand hybrid. It’s a dream for DIY tech aficionados.
Slim, Lightweight, and Robust
Nothing asserts that the CMF Phone 2 Pro is its slimmest and lightest device to date. With a thickness of just 7.8mm and a weight of 6.5 ounces, it’s only marginally heavier than the iPhone 16. Beneath its sleek exterior, it is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G processor, which features an 8-core CPU with speeds reaching up to 2.5GHz. The phone also promises remarkable battery longevity, lasting up to two full days on a single charge.
The display is a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen, complemented by a versatile quad-camera arrangement: a 50MP primary camera, a telephoto lens, an ultra-wide lens, and a front-facing camera perfect for selfies and video chats.
More Than Just a Smartphone
In addition to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, Nothing has also rolled out three new budget-friendly earbud options: the CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2 Plus, and CMF Buds 2a. These start at prices ranging from $49 to $69 and are equipped with features like active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and water resistance.
The CMF Buds 2 Plus come with desirable enhancements such as hi-res LDAC support and customizable EQ settings. Similar to the new smartphone, these earbuds are also available for preorder via the Nothing Beta Program.
With its sleek design, modular features, and competitive pricing, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is poised to be an exceptional choice in the budget Android segment. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or simply in search of a stylish, practical device that won’t strain your wallet, Nothing’s latest offering is definitely worth considering.
