The buzz around the CMF Phone 2 Pro is palpable, and for good reason. Building upon the success of the CMF Phone 1, which impressed with its innovative accessories and features at an accessible price point, the Phone 2 Pro aims to raise the bar even higher.
Unboxing and Accessories:
The unboxing experience reveals a suite of new accessories, including a versatile wallet and stand combo, interchangeable lenses, and a universal cover. The reviewer also highlighted the impressive sound quality and battery life of the Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus earphones.
Design and Build:
While the Phone 2 Pro boasts a sleeker, thinner, and curvier design compared to its predecessor, a notable change is the glued backplate, a departure from the fully replaceable design of the Phone 1.
Accessory Ecosystem:
While the new phone maintains compatibility with older accessories, utilizing the new interchangeable lenses necessitates a specific case, potentially adding bulk. The magnetic wallet stand, while functional, is noted to have limited card storage.
Performance and Features:
Addressing previous shortcomings, the CMF Phone 2 Pro now includes NFC. The device features a high-quality AMOLED display, impressive battery life, and smooth software performance. The user-friendly operating system offers customizable widgets and a smart app drawer. A unique "essential key" aims to streamline information saving and reminders, though it requires further refinement.
Camera Upgrade:
A significant upgrade is the camera system, featuring a 50MP main camera with a larger sensor, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens. The interchangeable lenses, particularly the macro lens, are praised for their quality.
Final Verdict:
Despite minor drawbacks with some accessories, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is a substantial improvement over its predecessor, especially considering its competitive price. Its enhanced features and performance make it a highly recommendable option in the budget segment.
