"This colourful Android device is designed to pack a punch without punishing your wallet," Aaron stated in his review. The phone boasts a generous 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Its triple camera system, featuring a 50MP main sensor, telephoto lens, and ultrawide camera, promises high-quality photos and videos. The CMF Phone 2 Pro also stands out with its IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring some level of protection against accidental splashes. Users can even customize the phone's appearance and functionality with a range of magnetic accessories, including a wallet and fisheye lens, sold separately. Beyond its hardware, the phone runs on NothingOS 3.1, built on Android 15, and includes a unique AI-powered feature called Central Space, which acts as a digital scrapbook for screenshots, notes, and voice memos. This feature automatically adds appointments to the user's calendar and summarizes lengthy articles and PDFs. The CMF Phone 2 Pro is available for purchase on the Nothing website and Amazon. While it doesn't offer monthly payment plans, its compelling features and affordable price make it a strong contender in the budget smartphone market.
