CMF Phone 2 Pro Launching on April 28: Expected Specs, Features, and Price in India
CMF by Nothing has officially announced the launch of its next smartphone, the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which will be unveiled on Monday, April 28 at 6:30 PM. Along with the phone, the company is also expected to introduce three new wireless earbuds — CMF Buds 2, CMF Buds 2a, and CMF Buds 2 Plus.
What’s interesting is that there has been no mention of the regular CMF Phone 2 so far. This has raised questions about whether the standard version is being skipped this year and if the company is only focusing on the Pro model for now.
Expected Specs and Pricing for CMF Phone 2 Pro
According to early leaks and rumors, the CMF Phone 2 Pro could feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 2,500 nits brightness, offering a bright and smooth viewing experience. The phone is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, paired with up to 8GB RAM (LPDDR4X) and 256GB storage (UFS 2.2).
In terms of battery life, the phone might come with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 50W fast charging, allowing users to charge their phone quickly. It is also expected to run on Nothing OS 3.1, based on the latest Android 15, bringing a clean and minimal software experience. Additionally, the device could have an IP64 rating, which offers basic protection against dust and water. Another new addition could be an Essential Key Button, allowing users to assign extra functions for quick access.
For photography, the CMF Phone 2 Pro may come with a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP additional sensor on the back. On the front, it might feature a 16MP selfie camera, which should be good for selfies and video calls.
Design-wise, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is expected to follow CMF’s bold and colorful design language. It could feature a matte-finish opaque back panel, with some customizable elements and a horizontal triple-camera layout, making it look stylish and unique.
As for pricing, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is expected to be priced at Rs 17,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage version and Rs 19,999 for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. These prices make it a strong competitor in the mid-range smartphone segment.
More details will be revealed at the official launch event. Stay tuned for full specifications, hands-on impressions, and availability information.

WhatsApp is working on new features to improve the calling experience for Android users. These updates were spotted in the latest beta version of the app (2.25.10.16) by WABetaInfo, a trusted source for WhatsApp news.
New Mute Button for Voice Calls
One of the new features is a mute button for incoming voice calls. This button appears in the notification panel, allowing users to mute their microphone while answering a call. While it’s still unclear how people will use this, it could be helpful in noisy places or when users want to answer quietly.
Turn Off Camera Before Answering Video Calls
Another helpful feature is for video calls. Users will be able to turn off their camera before picking up the call. This gives people a moment to get ready or stay off camera completely, especially when getting calls from unknown numbers. It adds a layer of privacy and comfort when using video chat.
Emoji Reactions in Video Calls
WhatsApp is also adding emoji reactions to video calls. This will let users react in real time using emojis, making group video calls more fun and interactive.
Rollout Details
These new features are currently available to a small group of beta testers using WhatsApp on Android. WhatsApp plans to roll them out to more users in the coming weeks.
