CMF Phone 2 Pro Debuts in India Starting at ₹18,999: Full Details on Features, Pricing, and Offers
New Delhi: At an exciting event in New Delhi, Nothing India’s head Akis Evangelidis unveiled the latest addition to the CMF lineup — the CMF Phone 2 Pro. True to the company’s spirit of innovation, Evangelidis declared that CMF aims to “shake things up a bit.” Interestingly, despite the “2 Pro” label, there’s no standard CMF Phone 2 yet, and the company has not confirmed if or when it might arrive.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro marks a significant leap for the CMF brand, introducing its first-ever triple-camera setup and becoming only the second smartphone under the CMF name.
In addition to the smartphone, CMF also expanded its audio portfolio by launching three new earbuds: the CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2+, and CMF Buds 2a. Despite their similar names, these earbuds differ in key areas:
- Buds 2a: Up to 42dB ANC, 35.5-hour battery life (₹2,199)
- Buds 2: Up to 48dB ANC, 55-hour battery life (₹2,699)
- Buds 2+: Up to 50dB ANC, 61-hour battery life, LDAC high-res audio support (₹3,299)
CMF Phone 2 Pro: Camera, AI, and Key Features
The CMF Phone 2 Pro brings major camera upgrades, positioning itself as a lighter, more affordable alternative to the Nothing Phone 3a Pro. It boasts:
- 50MP primary camera (shared sensor with Nothing Phone 3a)
- 50MP telephoto lens offering 2x optical and up to 20x digital zoom
- 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 119.5-degree field of view

For AI-powered productivity, the device introduces the Essential Space feature — a customizable shortcut key for rapid access to voice notes, screenshots, and more. It automatically organizes files into smart categories using on-device AI.
Pricing, Availability, and Launch Offers
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is offered in two variants:

CMF Phone 2 Pro: Performance and Display Highlights
Under the hood, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is powered by the newly announced MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, promising:
- Up to 10% faster CPU speeds

The display is another highlight: a 6.67-inch flexible AMOLED panel with symmetrical bezels, 120Hz refresh rate, 3000 nits peak brightness, and no bottom chin, promising a truly immersive visual experience.
