CMF Phone 2 Pro specifications, features
- Display: The CMF Phone 2 Pro sports a 6.77-inch Flexible AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 480Hz touch sampling rate, 1,000Hz instant touch sampling rate, 2,160Hz PWM Dimming, 800 nits typical brightness, 1,300 nits outdoor brightness, 3,000 nits peak brightness, Panda Glass protection, HDR10+, and Panda Glass protection.
- The display is pretty impressive for its price due to its high PWM dimming support and peak brightness level, which ensures there’s less strain on the eyes and the panel remains legible even under direct sunlight.
- Processor: The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, which offers 10 percent faster CPU and 5 percent faster GPU performance compared to the regular Dimensity 7300. It is aimed at delivering efficient everyday performance with support for gaming and multitasking.
- Memory: 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage, which is further expandable up to 2TB.
- Cameras: The handset features a 50MP primary camera with f/1.88 aperture and EIS, a 50MP telephoto lens with f/1.85 aperture, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. It gets a 16MP lens on the front for selfies.
- A telephoto lens is simply unheard of in the sub-Rs 20K price segment, so you can expect the phone to deliver substantially better portrait shots over its competitors.
- Battery: The handset packs a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast wired charging and 5W reverse charging.
- The phone’s wired charging speed is definitely slower than what rivals offer in this segment. Unlike global variants, the Indian version includes a charger in the box.

- Other features: An in-display fingerprint sensor, an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, 150 percent ultra-clear volume, and 2 high-definition mics.

What’s new on the CMF Phone 2 Pro?
The CMF Phone 2 Pro brings several meaningful upgrades over last year’s CMF Phone 1, especially in the display and camera departments.
Brighter and Bigger Display: The screen has grown from 6.67 inches to 6.77 inches and now supports a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, up from 2,000 nits, making it easier to use in bright outdoor conditions.
Performance Boost: While both phones use MediaTek’s 7300 series, the new Dimensity 7300 Pro variant is tuned for better efficiency and smoother performance.
Triple Camera Setup: The most significant change is the move from a basic dual camera to a triple-lens system with a 50MP primary sensor, 50MP telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. This upgrade brings true optical zoom and a wider shooting range – a rare offering in this segment.
Charger in the Box: Unlike the previous model, the India variant of the CMF Phone 2 Pro includes a 33W fast charger in the box, improving out-of-the-box value.
Improved Durability: The phone now carries an IP54 rating for basic dust and water resistance, which wasn’t present on the CMF Phone 1.
