Affordable Innovation Shakes Up the Smartphone World
Modular phone by Nothing introduces exchangeable camera lenses via its CMF label, priced at $279.
The fiscally-friendly sub-brand from Nothing returns with a captivating sequel, the Phone 2 Pro, promising to keep pushing boundaries in the tech realm. Regardless of the deluge of smartphones flooding the market, this device stands out as a genuinely compelling launch. With an eye-catching design, top-tier specs, and a modular system, the Phone 2 Pro offers it all for just $279.
Budget Bump, But Worth It
While slightly more expensive than its predecessor, the Phone 2 Pro justifies the price hike. Its svelte profile at 7.8mm thick and 185g (6.5oz) makes it the slimmest and lightest smartphone to come from Nothing. Moreover, it sports a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, their largest to date, capable of producing an impressive 3,000 nits of brightness.
A Modular Marvel
What sets the Phone 2 Pro apart from its competitors is its modular setup. Though different from the Phone 1, the second-gen version requires a screw-on universal cover (sold separately) that serves as a base for additional accessories. Attach a wallet/kickstand combo, a lanyard for drop protection, or, most excitingly, interchangeable camera lenses, such as fisheye and macro options. Its boosted IP54 rating also offers improved protection against the elements.
Regrettably, these accessories are currently only available outside of the United States. Otherwise, the Phone 2 Pro serves as an impressive budget Android device, delivering excellent results from its Smartphone capabilities alone.
Stunning Photography Feats
Nothing has heavily emphasized photography with the CMF Phone 2 Pro, providing a significant upgrade over its predecessor. Sporting a quad-camera system - with a 50MP main shooter, a 50MP telephoto offering 2x optical zoom, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 16MP selfie camera - the Phone 2 Pro captures up to 64% more light than the Phone 1, backed by their TrueLens Engine 3. Preliminary images suggest it delivers impressive results for the price point.
Powerhouse Performance
Under the hood, the Phone 2 Pro features MediaTek's Dimensity 7300 Pro processor with an octa-core CPU (up to 2.5GHz), claiming around 10% increased speed and 5% better graphics performance. Coupled with up to 16GB of RAM, a hefty 5,000mAh battery, and support for NFC contactless payments, the Phone 2 Pro is bursting with power.
Essential Space and More
The Phone 2 Pro also boasts the Essential Space feature, activated via a side button, utilizing AI to organize screenshots and voice notes into one easy-to-access hub.
