CMF Phone 2 Pro Rear Panel Teased With Bold New Look Days Ahead Of Launch

The buzz around CMF by Nothing’s next smartphone is getting louder, with a new teaser dropping just weeks ahead of its launch. Scheduled to debut on April 28 at 6:30 pm IST, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is making headlines with its first official look — and it’s clear the brand is sticking to its roots while adding a layer of refinement.

The teaser video, shared by CMF on X (formerly Twitter), gives a quick six-second glimpse of the rear panel.

The device appears to sport a textured finish and retains the CMF by Nothing branding along the bottom edge. A prominent screw on the panel hints at interchangeable back covers, much like the CMF Phone 1, which allowed users to switch up their phone’s appearance with ease.

The teaser comes with the caption “new finish,” nudging fans to expect subtle but significant changes in materials or aesthetics this time around.

More Than Just a Phone: Audio Lineup Incoming

It’s not just the Phone 2 Pro that’s set to launch later this month. CMF is doubling down on its ecosystem with the announcement of three new audio accessories — CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a, and Buds 2 Plus — all expected to be unveiled alongside the smartphone. Just like its predecessor, the CMF Phone 2 Pro will be sold through Flipkart, continuing the brand’s online-first retail strategy in India.

CMF Phone 1 Set the Stage

The CMF Phone 2 Pro is expected to build upon the foundation laid by the CMF Phone 1, which debuted in July 2023. That device came with a 6.7-inch full-HD+ AMOLED LTPS display boasting a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G chipset and offering up to 8GB RAM, it delivered solid mid-range performance.

A dual rear camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel Sony primary sensor and a portrait lens added to its appeal, along with a 5,000mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging and 5W reverse wired charging. Launched at a starting price of Rs 15,999, the CMF Phone 1 carved a niche for itself in the budget-conscious segment with a distinctive design and modular back panels.

What’s Next?

With its upcoming release, the CMF Phone 2 Pro seems poised to carry forward this philosophy of functional aesthetics. While official specs are still under wraps, the teaser’s visual cues and the “new finish” tagline suggest a focus on tactile upgrades and potentially new materials.

Whether these updates are merely cosmetic or bring real enhancements under the hood remains to be seen — but Nothing fans won’t have to wait long to find out.
