The CMF Phone 2 Pro is almost here, and it’s already grabbing attention for a small yet meaningful change. The phone is set to launch globally, including in India, on April 28, and for fans who were disappointed with the previous model’s missing charger, there’s good news — at least in some places.

Charger
Yes, the charger is making a comeback, but here’s the twist — it won’t be universal. In a response to a fan on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing’s India head and co-founder Akis Evangelidis confirmed that the CMF Phone 2 Pro will ship with a charger in the box for Indian buyers. He even shared a sneak peek of the box, showing a slot for the charging brick.
So why now? Turns out, this is the company listening directly to its customers. The CMF Phone 1 didn’t include a charger, and that decision didn’t go over too well with buyers. While the phone supported 33W fast charging, users had to buy the adapter separately — which was honestly a bit of a bummer.
Here’s how the box contents are shaping up:
| Region | In-box Charger | Charging Cable |
|---|---|---|
| India | Yes | Yes |
| Global | Likely No | Yes |
Feedback
This decision highlights how Nothing, the parent brand of CMF, is taking a more user-first approach with its newer launches. It’s rare these days to see companies actually reverse a move based on feedback — most brands are heading in the opposite direction by removing even more items from the box.
It’s also interesting that this change is specific to India. Evangelidis didn’t confirm whether other markets would get the charger. From the tone of his post, it seems India might be the only lucky region to receive the full package. Global customers may still need to buy the charger separately, just like with the CMF Phone 1.
Chargers
If you’re wondering which charger is ideal for the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the phone will most likely continue to support 33W wired fast charging, similar to its predecessor. The brand already sells a 33W power brick, as well as more powerful GaN chargers (65W and 100W), which are also compatible with other devices.
Here’s a quick look at the options:
| Charger Model | Output | Sold Separately |
|---|---|---|
| Power 33W | 33W Fast Charge | Yes |
| GaN 65W | Up to 65W | Yes |
| GaN 100W | Up to 100W | Yes |
Even if the in-box charger doesn’t reach everyone, there are solid official options available if you need one.
Launch
The CMF Phone 2 Pro will be unveiled on April 28, and it’s not launching alone. Alongside the phone, CMF will also introduce three new audio products — the CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a, and Buds 2 Plus. It’s clear that Nothing is expanding the CMF ecosystem and trying to carve out a strong budget-friendly alternative to the main Nothing lineup.
Expectations
The CMF Phone 2 Pro will be the second model under the CMF banner after the CMF Phone 1 launched in July 2024. While full specs haven’t been revealed yet, fans can expect thoughtful upgrades — and the return of the charger (at least in India) is a good sign.
For now, the main takeaway is this: if you’re in India, you’re getting a little extra in the box. Everywhere else? You might still need to buy that charger separately. Either way, it’s refreshing to see a brand that’s at least trying to listen.
