The CMF Phone 2 Pro, launched on April 28, 2025, might give a stiff challenge to the mid-range market segment. With a ₹18,999 price tag for a device boasting high-end features typically associated with premium smartphones, this offering from Nothing's CMF sub-brand warrants closer examination. 

Key specifications include a 50MP triple camera system, Dimensity 7300 Pro processor, and 120Hz AMOLED display. This strategic positioning raises important questions about the balance between performance and affordability in the mid-range category.
