CMF Phone 2 Pro Gaming Test - Wuthering Waves, Zenless Zone Zero, Genshin Impact & PUBG Mobile
The Nothing Phone series has made a name for itself with its distinct visual flair, boasting an industrial, almost prototype-looking design for its mobile devices. In the same vein, its sub-brand, CMF by Nothing, features a clean yet unique modular aesthetic with its phone series, which debuted with the Nothing CMF Phone 1 in 2024.
A year on, CMF has unveiled its second iteration, the aptly named CMF Phone 2 Pro, offering the same modular case design alongside hardware improvements over its predecessor, like its slimmest and lightest chassis yet, measuring at a depth of 7.8mm and weighing a mere 185g, an advanced four-camera system, and a 6.77″ FHD+ flexible AMOLED display capable of delivering 1.07 billion hues of colour at a 120Hz refresh rate.
When it comes to performance, the device packs in the newly upgraded MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G processor with an 8-core CPU and 2.5 GHz clock speeds, with the company claiming that this provides 10% faster processing and a 5% improvement in graphics when compared to the CMF Phone 1. GPU-wise, the device is powered by the Mali-G615 MC2 mobile graphics processor, which is admittedly a step down compared to the more advanced Adreno chips in recent phones.
In practice, when put through the gaming gauntlet of Wuthering Waves , Zenless Zone Zero , Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile , the device understandably struggles to hit the coveted 60fps in most titles, but it does impress in its ability to disperse heat and has great thermal management across the board.
