Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro review
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is very similar to the original CMF Phone 1 when it comes to design. The attachment point and exposed screws are the signature elements of the brand. It's a look that definitely stands out, which is definitely a good thing these days.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro is also more durable than its predecessor, with things like Panda Glass on the front and an IP54 ingress protection rating, alongside a manufacturer's promise that the phone should last for up to 20 minutes in up to 25cm of fresh water. The back is still made of plastic, though, with the pros and cons that entails. Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro 5G specs at a glance: Body: 164.0x78.0x7.8mm, 185g; plastic body, Panda Glass front; User-replaceable back cover, IP54 dust protected and water resistant (water splashes), Manufacturer-rated water-resistant (up to 25cm for 20 min).

What about the internals, then? Well, the Pro mostly lives up to the moniker with quite a few upgrades over the CMF Phone 1. The display, for one, is bigger and brighter, with 10-bit color and HDR10+ support. The camera department has seen a lot of upgrades as well and is now much more versatile with a 50MP telephoto and an 8MP ultrawide added to the mix. On some markets, the CMF Phone 2 Pro also introduces NFC for payments.
There are plenty of similarities between the CMF Phone 2 Pro and the original CMF Phone 1 on the inside too. The chipset hasn't changed much; it is now the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro instead of the regular 7300. The battery is the same 5,000 mAh pack with 33W wired charging support. Crucially, likely for many prospective buyers, the CMF Phone 2 Pro retains the microSD storage expansion slot.
However with plenty of other hardware upgraded, it is understandable that the price of the CMF Phone 2 Pro has increased as well. At the time of writing, an 8GB/128GB unit will set you back around €250. Join us as we try to determine whether the Phone 2 Pro is a bargain at that price! Unboxing
The CMF Phone 2 Pro ships in a rather thin sleeve-style cardboard box. There really isn't much material between the contents and any potential outside threat, which we don't appreciate. Even so, we are not too worried due to the internal arrangement, which has a box on top of the phone. Plus, the phone itself is nestled in a cradle for extra protection. Everything in the packaging, including said cradle, is made of recyclable materials, which is welcome.
There is sadly no charger in the box, just a basic Type-C to Type-C cable. On the plus side, a clear plastic case is included, so you can start using your phone immediately.

Redmi 15C 5G is still on the way, new certification reveals its charging power
Vlad, 07 August 2025 Redmi quietly launched the 15, 15 5G, and 15C at the beginning of this month, but for some reason chose to skip the 15C 5G. This device, however, is still on the way, as evidenced by its recent certification for sale in China, courtesy of 3C. The phone was certified with a 33W charger, so it stands to reason that it will be able to charge at up to 33W. It's likely to be made official in China later this month. Global availability isn't yet a given. It was certified by 3C with the model number 2508CRN2BC. According to past rumors, the Redmi 15C 5G has a 6.9-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, the Dimensity 6300 SoC at the helm, 4GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, and a 6,000 mAh battery. The handset has a 50 MP main camera and an 8 MP selfie snapper. It should run Android 15 from day one, with Xiaomi's HyperOS 2.0 on top. It also has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button. It's 8.2 mm thin and weighs 211g. It will be offered in green, purple, and black. Via
