Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro - progress that can lead to success

Not always even experienced developers manage to achieve their goal the first time. Thus, the sub-brand of the Nothing company, consisting of former OnePlus employees, last year released a rather controversial smartphone, which found both fans and haters. Beautiful design and decent performance coexisted with reduced functionality. However, the hero of today's review is already more balanced and is an excellent work on the mistakes.

The concept of the appearance remained the same. Original colors of cases with interesting decorative elements, an unusual block of cameras, thin screen frames with a built-in fingerprint scanner will appeal to a huge number of buyers. The 6.77-inch AMOLED display does not strive for the highest image clarity, because the resolution is not the most impressive 2392x1080 pixels. But the other parameters are pleasing. There is also a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 3000 nits, and realistic color rendition, and a good oleophobic coating.

The technical characteristics include the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and the Mali G615-MC2 graphics core. This is a very popular combination today, offering both energy efficiency and the power necessary for games. In the AnTuTu benchmark, we get about 700,000 points, the most resource-demanding gaming projects will function with medium graphics presets without noticeable lags. The battery capacity of 5000 mAh is no longer perceived as something magnificent, but getting 9-10 hours of active screen time is more than realistic. The charging power is 33 W, but we would like to see 67 W or more. The permanent memory is allocated 128/256 GB without the possibility of expansion, so the second version of the unit is recommended for purchase.

There are some small questions about the photo capabilities. Thus, the high-quality main 50-megapixel Samsung GN9 sensor did not receive hybrid stabilization, which is why evening shots are sometimes spoiled by noise and blurry objects. But at the same time, there is a full-fledged telephoto lens with a two-fold optical zoom, as well as a wide-angle lens. But there is still no stereo sound, which causes serious disappointment. But contactless NFC payments appeared, support for 5G networks did not disappear. Thus, the device has really become more technologically advanced and more attractive to the end user. But sales of the gadget will depend on a competent advertising campaign.
