CMF Phone 1 Pro: A Deeper Dive into the 'Pro' Experience

Design and Customization: Elevated Modularity

The CMF Phone 1 Pro retains the celebrated modular design of its sibling but elevates it with premium materials. The interchangeable back covers are now available in tactile Vegan Leather and a cool-to-the-touch Machined Aluminum finish, in addition to the standard polycarbonate.

The signature rotating dial, now dubbed the CMF Control Wheel, is more than just an accessory holder. It offers tactile, customizable controls for actions like adjusting camera zoom, scrubbing through video timelines, or changing volume, providing a unique interactive experience.

Display: A Smoother, Brighter Canvas

The front of the phone is graced with a gorgeous 6.67-inch AMOLED panel. The "Pro" upgrade brings a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate and a true 10-bit color depth, capable of displaying over a billion colors for stunning visual fidelity. With HDR10+ certification and a 2,000-nit peak brightness, content looks spectacular in any lighting condition. The entire panel is protected by the tough Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Performance: A True Powerhouse

At its core, the Phone 1 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300-Ultra. This 4nm chipset is a powerhouse, delivering flagship-level performance that can handle intensive gaming, 4K video editing, and heavy multitasking with ease. This is a massive leap from the standard model's Dimensity 7300.

The processor is complemented by up to 12GB of RAM and faster UFS 3.1 storage, ensuring a lag-free and responsive experience. It runs on the clean and minimalist Nothing OS 2.6, based on Android 14, which is celebrated for its bloatware-free approach.

Camera: The Biggest "Pro" Upgrade

The camera system sees the most significant "Pro" enhancement. The dual-camera setup is now genuinely high-end, featuring:

  • A 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor with OIS: This flagship-grade sensor, paired with Optical Image Stabilization, captures incredibly detailed, vibrant, and stable photos, especially in challenging low-light conditions.

  • A 50MP Ultrawide camera: Ditching the 2MP depth sensor, the Pro model adds a versatile, high-resolution ultrawide lens for capturing stunning landscapes and group shots without sacrificing quality.

With Nothing’s TrueLens Engine 2.0, you also get advanced computational photography features like Ultra XDR, Motion Capture, and an enhanced Night Mode.

Battery and Charging: Unmatched Versatility

The CMF Phone 1 Pro houses a 5,000mAh battery, but the charging suite is now truly "Pro." It supports blazing-fast 67W wired charging, but the real game-changers are the inclusion of 15W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging, allowing you to power up other devices on the go.
