CMF by Nothing is back in the spotlight with the upcoming CMF Phone 2 Pro, and excitement is already building ahead of its launch in India. The company has officially announced the launch date, and to tease fans further, it dropped a short video giving us a glimpse at the phone’s rear design. Based on what we’ve seen and heard so far, the CMF Phone 2 Pro could offer a fresh spin on the design DNA introduced with last year’s CMF Phone 1.
Design
The teaser video shared by CMF on X shows off the back panel of the CMF Phone 2 Pro, and it’s looking quite different — in a good way. The phone features a textured finish, which gives it a slightly rugged, modern look. The CMF branding appears at the bottom of the panel, and the standout detail? A visible screw, just like on the first-gen model.
That screw could hint at interchangeable back panels, much like what CMF introduced before. If true, this would add a layer of personalization and practicality that most phones in this price segment don’t offer. It also seems the phone will retain a boxy design, which contributes to a solid grip and a sleek aesthetic.
The teaser also revealed a speaker vent at the bottom edge, which suggests that the phone might offer an upgraded audio experience. The tagline used — “new finish” — hints that CMF is putting extra effort into refining the look and feel this time around.
Launch
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is officially set to launch in India on April 28 at 6:30 pm IST. The event will be streamed online and the device will be sold exclusively through Flipkart, much like other CMF and Nothing products.
Alongside the phone, CMF will also be launching three new audio accessories — the CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus. Clearly, CMF is planning to expand its ecosystem and give fans more choices under its affordable lineup.
Features
While complete specifications haven’t been officially confirmed yet, leaks and certifications are filling in the blanks. The CMF Phone 2 Pro is expected to bring a triple-camera setup to the back, a clear step up from the previous model’s dual-camera configuration. The camera upgrade alone could appeal to users looking for a better photography experience without paying flagship prices.
Past leaks also hinted that the back panel might be customisable — possibly confirming that the screw design isn’t just for show. On top of that, the device has already cleared BIS certification and has appeared in the IMEI database, strongly pointing toward an India-first release strategy.
Pricing
As for pricing, CMF is expected to keep things budget-friendly. The CMF Phone 1 launched at Rs. 15,999, and if CMF sticks to that strategy, the Phone 2 Pro should remain under Rs. 20,000. That price point, combined with potential features like triple cameras, a customisable back, and a clean UI, could make it a solid buy for anyone seeking a capable daily driver with a bit of flair.
Here’s a quick look at what’s expected:
| Feature | CMF Phone 2 Pro (Expected) |
|---|---|
| Rear Cameras | Triple setup |
| Front Design | Boxy with textured back |
| Audio | Bottom speaker vent |
| Back Panel | Possibly interchangeable |
| Launch Platform | Flipkart |
| Launch Date | April 28, 6:30 pm IST |
| Expected Price | Under Rs. 20,000 |
With just days to go before launch, more details are bound to emerge. For now, CMF seems to be taking all the right steps to deliver a stylish and value-packed phone that fits right into India’s competitive mid-range segment.
