The CMF Phone 2 is generating buzz even before its official launch, and it’s easy to see why. As the successor to the CMF Phone 1, this upcoming device from Nothing’s sub-brand is expected to bring some sleek design changes and solid hardware improvements. Let’s take a look at what’s coming our way based on recent leaks and teasers.
Design
First up—the design. CMF recently posted a short teaser video on X (yep, Twitter’s new name), showing off a portion of the Phone 2’s back. The video reveals a glossy rear panel with a matte finish twist, which shifts in tone depending on the lighting angle. It looks premium but still playful, sticking with the brand’s bold personality.
We also spotted screws along the plastic edges, hinting at a possibly modular or industrial-inspired design. CMF hasn’t confirmed if the rear panel is plastic or aluminum, but considering the Phone 1 had a polycarbonate build (and a vegan leather finish on the blue version), it wouldn’t be a shock to see something similar return with a fresh look.
The CMF by Nothing logo makes a comeback too, nestled on the bottom-left of the panel and changing in appearance as you tilt the phone. It’s subtle flair done right.
Cameras
The buzz around the camera system is getting louder. If leaks are accurate, the CMF Phone 2 will pack a triple rear camera setup—upgrading from the Phone 1’s dual combo of a 50MP main sensor and portrait lens.
This third camera could introduce either an ultra-wide angle or a macro option, giving users more versatility. For a phone likely positioned in the mid-range, that’s a smart move and makes the device more appealing to casual photographers.
Features
Another returning feature is the Accessory Point system. This clever add-on lets you connect accessories like card holders, lanyards, or stands right onto your phone. It’s back in the CMF Phone 2, according to leaked renders, and might even see improvements in ease of use or compatibility.
Here’s how the CMF Phone 1 compares to what we expect from the CMF Phone 2:
| Feature | CMF Phone 1 | CMF Phone 2 (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Rear Panel | Polycarbonate/Vegan Leather | Matte-gloss hybrid (Plastic/Aluminum?) |
| Camera Setup | Dual (50MP + Portrait) | Triple Camera System |
| Display | 6.7″ AMOLED, 120Hz | Likely same or slight improvement |
| Processor | MediaTek Dimensity 7300 | Possibly newer Dimensity chip |
| Battery | 5,000mAh, 33W charging | Same or improved charging speed |
| Accessory Point | Supported | Supported |
Performance
We’re still waiting for the exact specs, but logic says the processor will get a bump. The original CMF Phone 1 ran on MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300—smooth enough for everyday use. If CMF wants to stay competitive, a slightly upgraded chip would be a logical next step.
Battery-wise, the first model packed a 5,000mAh cell with 33W fast charging. It lasted all day with no drama, so unless there’s a major overhaul, we’ll likely see the same—or a tiny upgrade—in the battery department.
In all, the CMF Phone 2 is shaping up to be a worthy upgrade with better design, enhanced camera capabilities, and a cool balance between style and function. It’s not about reinventing the wheel—just making it roll smoother.
