CMF, the sub-brand of Nothing, is gearing up to introduce its latest mid-range smartphone — the CMF Phone 2 Pro — on April 28. Ahead of the official launch, the company has revealed a few key specifications of the upcoming device, including its processor. As expected, the smartphone will be powered by a MediaTek chipset, continuing the trend set by its predecessor, the CMF Phone 1. Alongside the smartphone, CMF will also unveil new audio products — CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus. The new lineup will be available via Flipkart, further solidifying CMF's presence in the Indian market.
CMF Phone 2 Pro: MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro Confirmed
CMF confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that the CMF Phone 2 Pro will come equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro processor. This marks a slight upgrade from the Dimensity 7300 chip that powered the first-generation CMF Phone. According to the brand, the new Pro variant offers up to 10% faster CPU performance and up to 5% improved graphics output, making it a more capable option for multitasking, gaming, and media consumption.
Powerful from the core.

The chipset is built with MediaTek’s 6th-generation NPU (Neural Processing Unit), which is said to deliver 4.8 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) of AI performance. This enhanced AI capability should provide better support for features like real-time photo enhancement, voice recognition, and power efficiency.
Designed for Gamers and Power Users
CMF is also targeting mobile gamers with the Phone 2 Pro. The device is advertised to support up to 120 frames per second for games like BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) and boasts a 1,000Hz touch sampling rate, promising ultra-responsive touch feedback. Additionally, CMF claims a 53% improvement in network performance, which could result in smoother online gaming and better connectivity overall.
On the design front, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is said to feature a slim and lightweight form factor, and it is expected to carry forward the minimal yet striking design language seen in the first CMF Phone. Nothing India’s President, Akis Evangelidis, recently confirmed that unlike many modern smartphones, the CMF Phone 2 Pro will include a charger in the box, which will certainly appeal to consumers.
CMF Phone 2 Pro Spotted on Geekbench Ahead of Launch
The upcoming CMF Phone 2 Pro has made an appearance on Geekbench, offering an early glimpse into its core specifications. According to the listing, the device was tested while running Android 15, which is expected to be paired with the latest version of Nothing OS, CMF's custom user interface.
The benchmark scores indicate solid performance, with the phone achieving 1,012 points in the single-core test and 2,939 points in the multi-core test. These scores place the device comfortably within the mid-range performance segment.
Interestingly, the name "Galaga" appears in the listing, which could be the internal codename for the CMF Phone 2 Pro, as previously hinted by leaks.
Under the hood, the phone features an octa-core processor built on the Armv8 architecture. The chipset configuration includes four performance cores clocked at 2.5GHz and four efficiency cores running at 2.0GHz. The graphics are handled by the Arm Mali-G615 MC2 GPU.
Given these hardware details, it strongly suggests the presence of the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 series SoC, likely the Dimensity 7300 Pro, which CMF has already confirmed for the phone. The same chipset series powered the original CMF Phone 1, though the "Pro" variant in the 2 Pro is said to bring modest improvements in CPU and GPU performance.
The Geekbench listing also confirms that the tested variant of the CMF Phone 2 Pro comes with 8GB of RAM, though additional RAM and storage options may be announced at the official launch.

CMF Buds 2: Refreshed Yet Familiar Design
The teaser video confirms that the CMF Buds 2 will retain a familiar look, borrowing cues from the original CMF Buds. The earbuds will come housed in a square-shaped charging case with rounded edges, maintaining a clean and compact design. Much like the CMF Buds Pro, the pairing button will be located inside the case for easy access.
The case and earbuds will be offered in three color choices — Orange, Light Green, and Black — adding a splash of vibrancy to the minimalist aesthetic. The charging indicator light is placed on the front of the case, while the USB Type-C charging port is neatly positioned on the right side. A transparent rotary dial-style element with lanyard pin slots is also part of the design, giving the product a signature CMF flair.
The earbuds themselves sport an in-ear stem design with soft silicone ear tips, promising comfort and a secure fit.
CMF Buds 2: Key Features Confirmed
- According to the community post and teaser, the CMF Buds 2 will feature Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) capable of cancelling out up to 48dB of noise, a major upgrade for immersive listening. The sound profile will be fine-tuned by Dirac, known for delivering high-quality audio across a wide range of devices.
- Battery performance is another strong point. The earbuds are expected to deliver up to 13.5 hours of playback on a single charge, with total usage extending up to 55 hours with the charging case — making them perfect for long commutes or binge-listening sessions.
- The CMF Buds 2 will also support Spatial Audio for a richer, more immersive soundstage. For connectivity, the buds come equipped with Bluetooth 5.4, and offer fast and easy pairing via Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair.
- Other highlights include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring durability during workouts or light rain, and ChatGPT integration, pointing toward potential smart assistant functionality directly through the buds.
CMF Buds 2: Pricing and Availability
A now-removed listing on Nothing’s official website briefly revealed that the CMF Buds 2 will launch in the UK with a starting price of £34, which roughly converts to Rs. 3,900.
The CMF Buds 2 are set to launch alongside the CMF Phone 2 Pro, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus on April 28 in India. More details, including official specifications and availability, are expected to drop in the coming days.

The upcoming CMF Buds 2 and CMF Phone 2 Pro clearly reflect CMF by Nothing's commitment to blending smart design with meaningful features at an accessible price point.
The CMF Buds 2 seem like a well-rounded upgrade in the audio segment, offering standout features like 48dB Hybrid ANC, Spatial Audio, and Dirac-tuned sound. With long battery life, a lightweight and stylish design, and seamless connectivity features like Google Fast Pair, these earbuds aim to deliver premium functionality without breaking the bank. Add to that IP55 resistance and ChatGPT integration, and you have a smart, feature-rich companion for everyday use.
Meanwhile, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is shaping up to be a strong contender in the mid-range smartphone space. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro, it promises solid CPU and GPU performance gains over its predecessor. A modern, slim design, improved AI capabilities, and gaming-ready features like 120fps for BGMI and a 1,000Hz touch sampling rate suggest that this phone is designed to please both casual users and mobile gamers alike.
Together, these two products show how CMF by Nothing is building an ecosystem focused on performance, value, and thoughtful design. If priced right, the CMF Buds 2 and CMF Phone 2 Pro could set new standards in their respective categories.
