In an era when flagship smartphone brands are gradually moving away from including chargers in the box, Nothing is taking a different approach with its sub-brand CMF. Akis Evangelidis, Nothing India’s head, has confirmed that the upcoming CMF Phone 2 Pro will indeed come with a charger in the box a move that is likely to resonate positively with Indian consumers.

Confirmation from Nothing India Head

Akis Evangelidis took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an image of the CMF Phone 2 Pro’s box, revealing a designated slot for the charging adapter. This confirmation came as a response to a user request, with Evangelidis stating, “We heard you my man – giving it a go with CMF Phone 2 Pro in India.” The image essentially confirms that buyers won’t need to make a separate purchase for a basic necessity like a charger — a practice that has become all too common among top brands like Apple and Samsung.

Launch Date and Availability

The CMF Phone 2 Pro is set to launch on April 28 at 6:30 PM IST, and will be available via Flipkart. Alongside the phone, three additional CMF products are expected to debut: likely the CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus. This coordinated launch hints at a broader ecosystem play by Nothing under the CMF brand.

Will There Be a Non-Pro Version?

While the CMF Phone 2 Pro is confirmed, it remains uncertain whether a standard CMF Phone 2 will be announced simultaneously. The “Pro” label suggests a more premium model, potentially leaving room for a base variant in the future. For now, the spotlight is solely on the Pro edition.

Expected Pricing

Nothing has not yet disclosed the pricing for the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but based on the CMF Phone 1’s launch price of ₹15,999, the new device is expected to remain below the ₹20,000 mark. This would place it competitively in the budget-to-mid-range segment without cannibalizing Nothing’s upcoming Phone 3a series.

Expected Specifications

Though complete specifications have not been officially revealed, several leaks and teasers hint at the following features:

Triple-camera setup: An upgrade from the dual-camera system seen on CMF Phone 1. Likely to include an ultra-wide sensor in addition to the main and depth lenses.

MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset: The same powerful mid-range SoC used in the recently launched Motorola Edge 60 Fusion.

The previous CMF Phone 1 featured a 50MP main camera, so the upcoming model is expected to improve upon this with added versatility.

Conclusion

The CMF Phone 2 Pro seems to offer meaningful upgrades over its predecessor, not just in terms of hardware but also in user-centric decisions like including a charger in the box. With its anticipated pricing, promising camera improvements, and confirmed launch on April 28, this device could make a notable impact in the Indian smartphone market.

Stay tuned for official details as the launch date approaches.
