New Nothing CMF Phone (2) leak suggests it might be a Samsung Galaxy A26 killer
The CMF Phone (2), the anticipated follow-up to the CMF Phone (1), has surfaced in (now removed) leaked images on Reddit, and its design changes could position it as a visually appealing, budget-friendly mobile device.
The images, which re-appeared on Reddit once again, reveal several alterations to the hardware. One notable difference is in the camera configuration, as the CMF Phone (2) seems to incorporate an additional sensor, bringing the total to three. These sensors are arranged in a triangular configuration, an evolution from the two-sensor setup seen on the previous model. Details regarding the specific function of the new sensor are not yet available.
Another detail observed in the leaked images is the placement of the rear panel screws. These appear to be located in the same positions as they were on the first-generation device. This similarity could suggest that accessories designed for the initial model may be compatible with the second iteration, which could be seen as a positive move by the brand.
It is common for manufacturers to make slight dimensional changes to new devices, which often leads to users having to purchase new accessories. If re-using old accessories, such as the kickstand, is a possibility, this will definitely be a plus for budget conscious consumers.

Information about the device's specifications remains limited, and pricing details have not been disclosed. However, if the CMF Phone (2) follows the pattern of its predecessor at a $200 USD price tag, it will be once again favorably positioned as a super affordable option. Another highly discussed characteristic is the phone's size, which many are estimating to be around 6.3 inches, although that is not confirmed at all.
In our review of the CMF Phone (1), we found the device to offer great value with great performance, however, we noted that the camera could use some serious improvements. Hopefully the sequel addresses that point with this new camera configuration, however, for me personally what I truly missed on this phone was NFC functionality.
One thing to note is that previous leaks of the CMF Phone (2) have claimed the device might use a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset. This is notable, considering the recent release of the Nothing Phone (3a) and Nothing Phone (3a) Pro, both used the same chipset. Additionally, the design shown in the leaked images, presents a sleek and refined appearance — with the gray color adding a touch of sophistication.
As someone who is already a fan of their low-cost audio products, I’m excited about the release of the CMF Phone 2. It would be interesting to see what CMF by Nothing will bring to the table this time around, and whether it will be priced aggressively.
