The second CMF phone is here, and it is a Pro model to boot. What a vanilla model is in the way, is beyond the scope of this review, but it is clear that the new phone is more than its predecessor. Nothing keeps increasing its portfolio, and we are here for it.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is similar to the original CMF phone 1 when it comes to the design. The attachment points and exposed screws are the signatures of the brand. It is a form that is definitely standing out, which is definitely a good thing these days.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is also more durable than its predecessor, with things such as panda glass and an IP54 ingrace protection rating at the front, with the promise of a manufacturer that the phone should last up to 25 cm of fresh water for 20 minutes. The back is still made of plastic, however, with professionals and opposition that enters.

What about the internal, then? Well, the supporter mostly lasts the monkey with a lot of upgrade on the CMF phone 1. The display, for one, is large and bright, which has a 10-bit color and HDR 10+ support. The camera department has also seen a lot of upgrade and is now very much versatile with 50MP telephoto and an 8MP ultravide has been added to the mixture. In some markets, CMF Phone 2 Pro also introduces NFC for payment.
There are also a lot of similarities between CMF Phone 2 Pro and original CMF Phone 1. The chipset has not changed much; It is now a MediaTek Demistance 7300 Pro instead of regular 7300. The battery is a 5,000 mAh pack with 33W wired charging support. Importantly, for many potential buyers, the CMF Phone 2 Pro maintains the microSD storage expansion slot.
However, with a lot of other hardware upgrades, it is understood that the price of CMF Phone 2 Pro has also increased. At the time of writing, an 8GB/128GB unit will set you back around € 250. Join us because we try to determine whether the phone 2 Pro is a deal at that price!
Out of the box
CMF Phone 2 Pro is a rather thin sleeve-style ship in cardboard box. In fact, there is not much material between materials and any possible external threats, which we do not appreciate. Nevertheless, we are not very worried due to internal arrangements, with a box above the phone. In addition, the phone is settled in a cradle for additional safety. Everything in the packaging, including the said cradle, is made of recycled material, which is welcome.
Sadly, there is no charger in the box, just a original type-C for Type-C Cable. On the plus side, a clear plastic case is included, so you can start using your phone immediately.
