CMF Phone 2 Teased Ahead of Launch in India: What We Know About the Price, Features, and Camera
The Nothing sub-brand CMF seems to be gearing up for another smartphone launch, and it’s creating quite a buzz. The UK-based brand dropped a teaser on social media this week, showing off the rear camera module of its upcoming phone, sparking excitement among tech enthusiasts. Although the brand remains tight-lipped about the phone's official name, CMF Phone 2 is already circulating as the likely successor to last year’s CMF Phone 1.
CMF Phone 2 Could Be Unveiled Soon
The teaser posted by CMF by Nothing on X (formerly Twitter) teased the upcoming smartphone with a cryptic "coming soon" tag. The image showcased the phone's rear panel in CMF's signature orange shade, with a single-camera setup that differs from the dual-camera system of the CMF Phone 1. The vertical arrangement of the camera sensor, with the flash placed underneath, suggests that CMF is going for a more streamlined design this time around.
While the official name and launch date remain under wraps, many believe this could be the CMF Phone 2, which has been the subject of leaks in recent weeks. The rumors hint that CMF Phone 2 might feature a triple-camera setup, raising the stakes for a significant upgrade. Previous teasers featuring Pokémon-themed posters have only added to the speculation, with the phone rumored to be associated with the codename Bulbasaur.
Flipkart Listing Confirms Online Availability
In another revealing move, a microsite dedicated to the CMF Phone 2 went live on Flipkart, one of India’s biggest e-commerce platforms. The listing offers a closer look at the camera module, accompanied by the tagline “in search of the perfect shot”. This tagline strongly indicates that camera performance will be a major selling point of the upcoming device.
The listing also confirms that the CMF Phone 2 will be available for purchase exclusively via Flipkart, mirroring the approach taken by the first model, which sold successfully through the platform. The device’s presence on Flipkart hints that pricing will be competitive, and given CMF’s track record with the Phone 1, the CMF Phone 2 could maintain an affordable price point.

CMF Phone 2: Expected Specifications and Features
As for the specs, CMF Phone 2 is likely to build on the solid foundation laid by the CMF Phone 1. Previous leaks suggest that the CMF Phone 2 will come with a larger display, potentially around 6.7 inches, similar to its predecessor. This would make it an ideal device for media consumption and gaming. The display is expected to have a full-HD+ AMOLED LTPS panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling and responsive touch.
Under the hood, the CMF Phone 2 is expected to feature upgraded hardware to compete in the growing budget smartphone market. Based on earlier rumors, it might be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G chipset, which was also featured in the CMF Phone 1. This processor is likely to be paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, offering a balanced performance for everyday use.
In terms of battery life, the CMF Phone 2 is expected to keep the same reliable 5,000mAh battery that supported fast 33W charging on the previous model. This is likely to provide users with a full day of usage, even with heavy screen time.
Pricing and Availability
The CMF Phone 1, launched at an affordable price of ₹15,999 for the base model, was a solid performer in the budget segment. Based on this, the CMF Phone 2 is expected to maintain a similar price range, potentially starting at around ₹15,000 to ₹18,000.
Given that the CMF Phone 1 was praised for its value-for-money proposition, the CMF Phone 2 will likely be positioned in the same affordable category, targeting users looking for a capable smartphone without breaking the bank.
The Future of CMF by Nothing
With the upcoming launch of the CMF Phone 2, Nothing’s sub-brand CMF appears to be strengthening its presence in the budget smartphone market. The brand’s focus on affordable pricing combined with solid performance and unique design makes it a contender in the highly competitive segment.
As more teasers and leaks emerge, CMF Phone 2 looks poised to carry forward the legacy of its predecessor, offering an exciting upgrade for those looking for a feature-packed smartphone at a reasonable price.
