Nothing to launch CMF Phone 2 Pro on April 28; Buds series to tag along

Nothing's CMF Phone 2 Pro will likely keep the modular back panel design of the first generation CMF Phone, but could get more premium design options like frosted glass

Nothing has confirmed that it will be unveiling new products under its CMF sub-brand on April 28, including the CMF Phone 2 Pro. It will be the second CMF branded smartphone, and the first to get a “Pro” label. Beside the CMF Phone 2 Pro, Nothing will launch three new audio products: CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a, and Buds 2 Plus. 

Nothing earlier released a short promotional video for an upcoming device, which is likely the CMF Phone 2 Pro. The brief clip, shared on X (formerly Twitter), shows what looks like the rear panel and side frame of the smartphone. The post was captioned, “A new finish. Textured, tactile, different.”

 

Just last week, the company released another teaser hinting at the CMF Phone 2 Pro’s rear camera layout.

 

CMF Phone 2 Pro : Expected design

 

The latest teaser suggested that the CMF Phone 2 Pro will keep a similar modular back panel design. A visible screw near the frame in the video suggests that the back cover may again be removable and customisable, as with the first-generation CMF Phone. The original model allowed users to swap out the back panel for different styles sold separately by the company.   

 

The frame appears to be made of plastic, continuing the approach used in the CMF Phone 1. However, the Pro version might use more refined materials like frosted glass or matte-textured plastic to find a balance between a premium feel and affordability. For comparison, the CMF Phone 1 came in plastic and vegan leather back panel options.   

An earlier teaser suggested a single rear camera module design. This is different from previous reports that speculated that the next CMF smartphone might feature a three-camera setup on the back.
