CMF Phone 2 Pro
With segment-leading performance, a pro-level four-camera system, a wonderfully bright display, and a premium design, CMF Phone 2 Pro is the ultimate daily smartphone. Unique, powerful and fun, CMF Phone 2 Pro is primed for capturing life’s moments with a joyful, forward-looking beat and refined design. The slimmest and lightest smartphone Nothing has ever designed. At 7.8 mm, weighing just 185 g, CMF Phone 2 Pro is nearly weightless – 5% thinner than CMF Phone 1. It comes in an elegant body with an aluminum camera surround – evolved from the first-generation design – and features stainless steel screws for an authentic Nothing feel that unveils the craft behind it. Plus, increased water durability with IP54 – CMF Phone 1 was IP52.
CMF Phone 2 Pro comes in four colours: White, Black, Orange and Light Green. Black and Light Green are crafted with a glass-like back that mimics a frosted glass texture and is bordered with a metallic frame. Refined and minimalist, White is worked with a panelled sandstone finish at the back with an authentic feel and haptics. Orange has a metallic sheen and is the boldest option of all. When designing, we’ve taken care to lend the different iterations a more sophisticated quality, in a considered step up from CMF Phone 1.
CMF Phone 2 Pro features an advanced four-camera system, complete with a 50 MP main camera with the largest sensor size in its class and capturing 64% more light than CMF Phone 1. For faraway scenes, the powerful telephoto lens uses 6 stacked lenses to digitally zoom onto your subject 20x – the only smartphone with telephoto sensor in this segment. To wrap it up, the 8 MP ultra-wide camera provides an expansive field of view, perfect for everything from landscapes to skylines, while the 16 MP front camera is ready to snap your sharpest selfies.
Now in its 6th generation, the newly upgraded MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G processor packs an 8-core CPU that clocks in speeds of up to 2.5 GHz – ready to live up to the demands of heavy multi-taskers. For cutting-edge performance, with 10% quicker processing and a 5% improvement in graphics when compared to CMF Phone 1.

With a 5000 mAh battery that lasts nearly one hour longer than Phone 1, CMF Phone 2 Pro effortlessly powers through two days of use on a single full charge.
Wonderfully bright, highly responsive and the largest display to date in the CMF range and best-in-class in its category. Featuring a 6.77″ FHD+ flexible AMOLED display that delivers a stunning 1.07 billion hues – nearly 1 billion more colours than CMF Phone 1. HDR photography takes colouration and vibrancy up a level, while Ultra HDR captures enhance the brightness of highlights by 6 to 8 times, increasing peak brightness to 3000 nits – a 50% higher peak brightness than that of CMF Phone 1.
