Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro: Ignite Smart Style & Performance

Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro: Overview

After using the Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro for more than a week, I’ve found that it offers a great balance between a stylish design, reliable performance and clean software at an affordable price.With features like a 120 Hz OLED and a multipurpose triple camera that are typically found on more costly phones, the 8 GB + 128 GB model, which retails for ₹18,999, challenges many competitors.

Design and Build

The Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro thin profile caught my attention as soon as I opened the box.It is among the lightest modular phones available, with a thickness of only 7.8 mm and a weight of 185 g.The aluminum camera surround adds a touch of refinement, and the matte-textured back feels grippy in the hand.

Although the new base cover now improves IP54 dust and splash resistance, Nothing’s iconic modular system, which lets you snap on various covers and accessories, is back. Although I did observe that older Phone 1 accessories aren’t backward-compatible with this model, I still found the clip-on fisheye lens and kickstand wallet to be useful during my commute.

The Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro comes in four colors: Black, White, Orange, and Light Green. Each color has a dual-tone finish that effectively reflects light.Right out of the box, the Light Green version felt fresh and unique on my desk.

Display and Audio

The 6.77-inch flexible OLED has 10-bit HDR10+ support, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a crisp 2,400 × 1,080 Full HD+ resolution.I never had any trouble reading messages during my midday walks because the screen peaked at an amazing 3,000 nits of brightness in the bright Indian sun.Battlegrounds Mobile India’s 480 Hz touch sampling makes gaming more responsive and the scrolling feels buttery smooth.Vibrant colors and smooth frame transitions made watching YouTube in HDR and playing fast-paced games feel immersive.

The Nothing Phone CMF 2 Pro is this thin, the stereo speakers provide good bass and clear mids.The included USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter and the separately available CMF Buds 2 earbuds provided balanced sound for calls and music, despite the lack of a headphone jack.

Performance and Software

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G chipset, supported by 128 GB or 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage and 8 GB of RAM, is located under the hood. Apps opened instantly in daily use and I had no trouble switching between Chrome, Instagram, and several tabs.

The  Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro performance of the game was also good; I had no frame drops in Asphalt 9 and saw clear visuals in Alto’s Adventure. It competes with similarly priced mid-range smartphones, but it isn’t as good as flagships like the iPhone 16 or Galaxy S25.

Android 15’s Nothing OS 3.2 offers a simple user interface with clear iconography and useful widgets. The  Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro promises of six years of security patches and three significant Android upgrades impressed me more than many competitors at this price range.

Camera Performance

The triple-camera array consists of an 8 MP ultra-wide lens, a 50 MP telephoto (2× optical zoom), and a 50 MP primary sensor.Clear, vibrant daylight photos with a high dynamic range and accurate color reproduction are produced by TrueLens Engine 3 processing.

Night mode performed admirably in low-light tests,reducing noise and maintaining detail,making it ideal for late-night street food photos.Portraits exhibit good bokeh separation at 2× zoom, but digital zoom gets noticeably softer at 5×.

My WhatsApp Status looked fantastic thanks to the 16 MP front camera’s ability to take natural-looking selfies with good skin-tone accuracy.Electronic stabilization allows for 4K/30 fps video recording, which is good for handheld clips.

Battery Life and Charging

I can easily get through a full day of calls, streaming and scrolling through social media thanks to a 5,000 mAh battery.I even managed to get two days of standby on days with moderate usage before grabbing the charger, the Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro is perfect for situations where you forget your power bank at home.With USB-C, charging reaches a maximum of 33 W and reaches roughly 50% in 30 minutes.Although it isn’t the fastest in its class, the Indian power brick that comes with it is a blessing because it eliminates the need to search for adapters on hectic mornings.

Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro: Price and Availability

The Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro is priced between ₹18,999 (8 GB + 128 GB) and ₹21,999 (8 GB + 256 GB) in India. Flipkart, the official Nothing store, and a few retail locations sell it; frequently, bank discounts and exchange offers further reduce the cost.
