The Phone 2 Pro has been announced as the second offering in the CMF line, continuing the modular concept of its predecessor. It features a solid budget Android experience, including a triple rear camera, a bright 120Hz OLED display, 128GB of storage, and various modular accessories like a screw-on case, a wallet kickstand, an orange strap, and swappable camera lenses.
While the design allows users to attach these modular elements to a replaceable cover, critics note that this reliance on covers may restrict functionality and ecosystem growth due to compatibility issues with previous models. The new camera lenses, particularly a fisheye and macro option, offer promising photography capabilities.
The Phone 2 Pro runs Android 15 and promises three years of OS updates and six years of security patches. However, modular accessories aren’t available in the U.S., and supply for them in Europe is limited. The phone is priced at about €249, with pre-orders open and a release date set for May 6th.
Overall, while the device itself is impressive for its price, concerns remain regarding the longevity and practicality of the modular accessories in the CMF ecosystem.
