London-based tech company Nothing has announced the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the latest release from its affordable sub-brand. Considering its sub-$300 price point, the new device has incredible specs for gaming, especially compared to its predecessor.
If you've read our CMF Phone 1 review, then you'll know that we're already huge fans of Nothing's budget sub-brand, and the CMF Phone 2 Pro seems to only improve on an already fantastic product. The chipset and display upgrades specifically position it to compete with some of the best budget gaming phones on the market.
The CMF Phone 2 Pro uses the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G processor, which boasts 10% quicker processing and 5% graphical improvement compared to the original CMF Phone 1. The 6.77-inch AMOLED display has a 120 Hz refresh rate, which is essential for high performance in competitive FPS games, and its 5000 mAh battery can reportedly support ten hours of gaming or 22 hours of YouTube on a full charge. For $279/£249, that's a pretty good deal.
