Nothing Announces CMF Phone 2 Pro With Triple Cameras, MediaTek 7400, and Modular Design

Nothing’s sub-brand CMF is back in the spotlight with the official announcement of the CMF Phone 2 Pro, set to launch on April 28, 2025. Alongside it, three new wireless earbud models will debut, extending the brand’s ecosystem just in time for summer. But all eyes are on the Phone 2 Pro, a device that appears to double down on modularity, design quirks, and performance upgrades.

Here’s a breakdown of everything we know so far.

A Refined, Modular Design With Signature CMF Flair

The CMF Phone 2 Pro doesn’t just iterate, it evolves. The new model retains the modular concept introduced in its predecessor, including the signature CMF dial, customizable back plates, and visible screws, giving users a chance to tweak their device’s look or functionality.

Design Highlights:

Matte plastic back with a premium, soft-touch finish
Exposed screws that hint at easy panel swapping and modular add-ons
Slimmer chassis than the CMF Phone 1
Bottom-mounted speaker for improved clarity
Updated triple-camera system in a striking triangular arrangement

While some may find the use of plastic less premium, the finish and utility-first approach make it feel intentional, and in line with CMF’s identity of practical creativity.

Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7400

Under the hood, the CMF Phone 2 Pro runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400, a 4nm chipset aimed at efficiency, gaming, and AI performance. Built on TSMC’s 4nm node, it brings performance parity with pricier flagships while targeting a more accessible market.

Key Specs:

Octa-core CPU: 4x Cortex-A78 at 2.6GHz + 4x Cortex-A55 at 2.0GHz
MediaTek NPU 6.0: 15% AI boost over previous-gen
Up to 200MP camera support
MAGT 3.0 gaming engine
5G with 3CC aggregation (up to 3.27 Gbps)
Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4
LPDDR5 + UFS 3.1 support
Display support: FHD+ 144Hz or WFHD+ 120Hz

This makes the Phone 2 Pro an ideal device for mobile gamers and power users who want fast performance and connectivity without the flagship price tag.

Triple-Lens Camera System: “In Search of the Perfect Shot”

The most visible upgrade is the triple-camera setup, a first for CMF-branded phones. Positioned in a triangular array, the new configuration aims to fix the limitations of the previous dual-camera system.

Expected Lenses:

Main Sensor: Possibly 50MP or higher
Ultrawide Lens: For landscape and group shots
Third Lens: Either macro or depth (to be confirmed)

CMF’s teasers use the tagline “In search of the perfect shot,” suggesting camera performance is a major focus this time around. With software optimization and better hardware, this could be CMF’s first genuinely competitive camera system.

What’s Missing?

While the Phone 2 Pro announcement is exciting, some fans noted the lack of news about the Nothing Phone (3), the flagship product most expected this spring. Whether this is a strategic delay or a shift in focus remains to be seen, but the omission is raising eyebrows.

Final Thoughts

With a unique design, strong chipset, and a camera-focused upgrade, the CMF Phone 2 Pro could be a sleeper hit in the midrange space. It blends affordability with modularity and performance, carving a niche between budget and premium smartphones. If Nothing nails the execution and pricing, this could be their most practical and customizable device yet.
