Nothing CMF Phone 2 review: Modular budget phone with swappable backs and accessories.
Modular budget with personality.
CMF Phone 2 doubles down on its predecessor's modular concept — swappable back covers and screw-mount accessories (stands, lanyards, wallets) — while adding a genuine 2x telephoto and a brighter AMOLED. The most playful, customisable phone in the budget tier.
