CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: A true budget champ

Last year, Nothing’s sub-brand, CMF, pushed the boundaries of the budget smartphone segment by putting out the Phone 1. We reviewed the CMF Phone 1 soon after it was launched, and were impressed with how spec-heavy it was for a smartphone priced at just Rs 16,000. Its modular design was a breath of fresh air in a segment where manufacturers don’t like taking risks with experimentation. This year, CMF has upped the ante by incorporating better hardware, boosting the specs, and even adding a key AI feature from its Nothing cousins. While the Phone 1’s successor is dearer by Rs 3,000, its ‘Pro’ monicker suggests that CMF may have a more economical, vanilla variant in the pipeline. We picked up the CMF Phone 2 Pro as soon as it crossed our desks and used it as our daily driver for a week; here is our in-depth review of the smartphone.

CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: Design and Display

Here’s what you get inside CMF Phone 2’s retail box:
  • Smartphone
  • 33W power adapter
  • USB Type-C to Type-C cable
  • Clear plastic cover
  • SIM ejector
  • Safety information card
CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: Design and Display While last year’s CMF Phone 1 did not ship with essential accessories, the Phone 2 Pro adds a power adapter and a soft plastic cover to its retail box. There are 4 additional accessories that can be attached to the smartphone: Universal cover, Wallet and stand, Lanyard, and fish eye & macro lenses. Since the Phone 2 Pro has a new back design and larger dimensions, it is not compatible with Phone 1’s accessories, except the lanyard. design The CMF Phone 2 Pro’s back panel design gets some interesting tweaks. The camera island has been ditched for individual camera rings. The screws are still visible and bring a raw look to the device. You can add a MagSafe-compatible protective cover on the back panel, which we like. However, modularity has taken a step back on the Phone 2 Pro since the back panel itself is no longer removable – completely killing our hopes of seeing a CMF phone with a swappable battery one day. frame The plastic frame of the smartphone houses the side button and the Essential Key on its right edge. We would have preferred these keys to be placed on opposite sides of the frame, since it is way too easy to accidentally hit the Essential Key while locking and unlocking the device. The volume rocker lies on the other side of the frame, while the secondary microphone finds its way up top. The hybrid SIM tray, primary microphone, USB Type-C port, and speaker grille are placed on the bottom edge. There is still no dual-speaker arrangement on CMF’s budget offering. CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: Design and Display The Phone 2 Pro flaunts a bigger and brighter display compared to its predecessor. The 6.77-inch AMOLED panel has a 120Hz refresh rate and can hit a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. In High Brightness Mode, this display can reach 1,300 nits and can sufficiently provide legibility under harsh outdoor daylight. Surrounding the display are slim and uniform bezels. The touch response is fluid, and the 120Hz refresh rate ensures a smooth scrolling experience. display During the review period, we used the CMF Phone 2 Pro as our primary media streaming device. Its AMOLED display showcased crisp and detailed visuals with vibrant colours. However, the lone bottom-firing speaker puts a damper on the media streaming experience. The audio output lacks a strong low end and has a limited intensity.

CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: Performance and Cameras

The Phone 2 Pro gets a small spec bump under its hood as it packs the Pro version of the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor that powered its predecessor. The smartphone scored 1,020 points in the single-core test and 2,958 points in the multi-core test on the Geekbench 6 app. In comparison, the CMF Phone 1 scored 1,023 (single-core) and 2,894 (multi-core) points last year. CMF Phone 2 Pro: Performance and Cameras The Phone 2 Pro has a fixed 8GB RAM and comes in 2 storage variants: 128GB: Rs 18,999 256GB: Rs 20,999 The microSD slot allows expandable storage up to 2TB. The smartphone goes through everyday tasks like a hot knife through butter. The rock-solid everyday performance is the cornerstone of this device. Apps take minimal time to load, and tasks like video calling, web browsing, instant messaging, and media streaming are handled expertly. The well-tuned haptic feedback is the icing on the cake. CMF Phone 2 Pro: Performance and Cameras We played Call of Duty Mobile and Asphalt Legends Unite on the CMF Phone 2 to test how the smartphone handled high-end gaming. The Dimensity 7300 Pro put up a good display in medium graphics settings and a 60fps frame rate. There were no lags or frame drops to be seen. The back panel started warming up after 30 minutes of continuous gaming. What we really like about CMF as a brand is that it does not compromise on the software experience despite putting out budget-friendly smartphones. The Phone 2 Pro runs the Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.2 out of the box. There is no bloatware to be seen, which is incredible for a smartphone in this price segment. On top of that, CMF has promised 3 major OS upgrades and 6 years of security patches for this device. nothing os Nothing OS 3 brings a unique flair to the stock Android experience. You can experiment with widgets and folder covers on the home screen and curate a look that suits your taste. Additionally, you get a good set of clock faces and widget options for the lock screen. The new ‘Smart’ app drawer organises your apps into distinct categories, similar to the iPhone. Swiping right on the app drawer reveals the Private Safe, which keeps your personal files and apps away from prying eyes. Things remain unchanged when it comes to the battery performance. The Phone 2 Pro packs the same 5,000mAh battery as its predecessor. This battery pack can last an entire day on a full charge. During the review period, we clocked around 5-6 hours of Screen Time on the CMF Phone 2 Pro. At the end of each day, we were left with 15-20% battery in the bank. With 33W fast charging support onboard, the smartphone takes just over an hour to reach a 100% charge. The biggest upgrade on the CMF Phone 2 Pro is its refreshed camera array. CMF has ditched the depth sensor in favour of a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and an 8MP ultrawide lens. This instantly makes this the most loaded camera array in its price bracket. In our opinion, this camera array alone justifies the price bump. primary camera The 50MP primary shooter takes balanced and natural-looking images in outdoor daylight conditions. These images showcase vivid colours and sharp details. In limited lighting, the 1/1.57” primary sensor lets in a good amount of light and produces clear images. The Night Mode does a decent job of eliminating the noise from the images. CMF Phone 2 Pro: Performance and Cameras CMF Phone 2 Pro: Performance and Cameras

Primary Shooter: Without Night Mode v Night Mode
Images taken with the 8MP ultrawide lens are visibly softer compared to the primary shooter. This isn’t a dealbreaker for us, given the price of the device. The ultrawide images are warmer and have a slight yellow tint to them. However, it performs really well in limited lighting conditions. We were expecting it to produce grainy images, but were surprisingly met with clear and well-tuned results.

The telephoto lens may not seem like a big deal, given that most primary shooters can digitally zoom into the images by 2x and still produce good results. However, the 2x optical zoom of the dedicated telephoto lens yields better details. The shift in colours is noticeable, and you get a warm hue on the final images.

The portrait shots taken with the CMF Phone 2 Pro are focused and vibrant, but lack the background blur to make them pop. There are 4 zoom/focal length settings for portraits: 1x (24mm), 2x (50mm), 3x (70mm), and 4x (100mm). The telephoto lens kicks in at the 2x zoom level and produces good results.

Verdict

With the CMF Phone 2 Pro, you truly get a bang for your buck. And the bang is quite resounding. The smartphone towers over its peers on several fronts. The loaded camera array would have been impressive with the addition of an ultrawide lens alone, but the telephoto sensor puts the icing on the cake. The bright AMOLED panel is further accentuated by slim and uniform bezels around it. These small touches go a long way in improving the user experience. We can’t think of any real flaws in this smartphone other than the lack of a dual-speaker setup. But the Rs 18,999 price tag makes it easy to look past that shortcoming.

CMF Phone 2 Pro: Pros

  • Even bezels around the display
  • Impressive camera array
  • Good low-light photography
  • Versatile processor

CMF Phone 2 Pro: Cons

  • Lacks a secondary speaker
  • The back panel is no longer swappable

How to use Private Space on your Nothing or CMF phone

0
Your Android phone’s lock screen does a great job of restricting access to the device’s data. On top of that, you also get an option to add an extra layer of security to files, apps, and images that you want to keep away from prying eyes. If you own a Nothing or CMF phone, you need to check out the Private Space tool to secure your personal data. Here’s how you can set it up and use it.

Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Vs S25+ Vs S25 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is the fourth model in the S25 series, after the S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. This new model delivers flagship-level performance in a more streamlined design. This updated version comes in a sleeker design with flagship-level performance. The Edge offers more than just superficial distinctions from its companions in terms of style, cameras, battery life, and performance. It is intended to give users who want flagship-level performance a more minimalist experience. The issue remains, though: will a smaller form factor and battery be enough to convince buyers to choose the Edge over the Galaxy S25+ and S25 Ultra? Let’s compare the three phones and see how they compare.

Our Take

All of the Samsung Galaxy S25 smartphones—the S25 Edge, S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra—have distinctive features and looks. The Edge weighs 163 grams and is 5.8 mm thick, slightly undercutting the base S25. Its 6.7-inch display surpasses the base model’s 6.2-inch panel and is comparable to the S25 Plus. For increased scratch resistance, Samsung has protected the Edge’s display with ceramic glass. Nevertheless, it only offers three colour possibilities, whilst the rest of the portfolio provides up to seven. Also Read: Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge officially debuts in the market The Edge’s camera hardware is simple, having a dual-camera configuration rather than the triple-lens systems of the other variants. A 12-megapixel secondary ultra-wide camera replaces the Ultra’s 200-megapixel primary back camera. Since all four phones—including the Edge—have a 12-megapixel front-facing camera, they may be used for video calls and selfies. The Edge, however, could be restrictive for people who use zoom or wide-angle photography frequently. Also Read: Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Vs Galaxy S24 Ultra With a smaller 3,900mAh battery, Samsung’s latest thin phone, the Edge, has the smallest battery of the four variants. The original S25 features a slightly bigger 4,000mAh battery, whereas the S25 Plus and Ultra have larger 4,900mAh batteries. Particularly when used extensively, the Edge’s screen-on time is less. The same top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite processor powers all four phones, offering comparable speed and multitasking capabilities. Style and sophistication are provided by the S25 Edge’s ultra-thin frame, lightweight construction, and 200-megapixel sensor. Because it employs the same processor as other Samsung Galaxy S25 models that are sold in India, users looking for a high-end phone may expect reliable performance at a lower cost.

With such high-end specs, it is not surprising that the smartphone costs a pretty penny. With a price tag of $1,099, the smartphone will go on sale on May 30. Thinking of buying the smartphone?
