Since y'all prolly don't know the sensors used here, it's the same as the 3a
-main: isocell gnx 50mp
-tele 2x: isocell jn5 50mp
Uw: imx 350 8mp
Ok thx k bye
I don't get having a phone so close to the 3a series in specs and camera. What is the point?
DarlingYext, 19 Apr 2025Bad comparison, most phones around 300 usd have an ultrawide with AF.what phone lol
itshimjae, 19 Apr 2025It most likely won't have the close focusing capabilities with the telephoto as the 3a, b... moreEven 12mp tele is decorative
If the brand kept the price of cmf 2 Pro close to the Nothing 3A, then wait a bit as the new colour is expected to be launched in the 3A series at the end of May
DarlingYext, 19 Apr 2025Bad comparison, most phones around 300 usd have an ultrawide with AF.No
Will have small battery, marketing team will advertise as segment first miracle for the budget ๐๐
Cool. Let's normalize having telephoto on mid-rangers. It's ridiculous that in 2025, OEMs are still putting stupid 2/5MP useless macro/depth sensor on mid-rangers just to have "three" cameras. Even a 2x telephoto is useful to have good looking portraits.
YourLocalPhoneCritic, 19 Apr 2025A lot of people who will be buying this consider it a "secondary phone".
So they ... moreIf they really listen to people they bring bank 3.5mm .
But
But
They don't care about people. Like other brands.
It most likely won't have the close focusing capabilities with the telephoto as the 3a, but it's still good to see an actual telephoto instead of the decorative 2mp macro/depth ones
Anonymous, 19 Apr 2025Mind even Samsung S25/S25+ UW camera didn't have AF or macroBad comparison, most phones around 300 usd have an ultrawide with AF.
Really hope the 6.3" screen rumor is true and also hopefully they can put NFC on the brimmin thing this time.
ThunderCrackR, 19 Apr 2025Not the first telephoto in the segment. Anyone remembering the Galaxy A72 from years ago?another one comparing โฌ500 phone to โฌ200 phone.. how do you say โฌ500 is a budget phone?
ThunderCrackR, 19 Apr 2025Not the first telephoto in the segment. Anyone remembering the Galaxy A72 from years ago?Lol A72 is Nothing Phone 3a Pro level. ๐คฃ๐คฃ
This CMF is competing with A36.
A lot of people who will be buying this consider it a "secondary phone".
So they don't need cameras, don't need OIS, don't need telephoto, don't need ultrawide or even water proofing. Bezels don't have to be thin, they just have to be symmetrically uniform. (Pixel 9a bezels are a good example)
They need: NFC, stereo speakers, headphone jack, microSD, removable battery, big battery, good looks, & very-affordable price. (msrp of $200 max)
People will buy it to:
- Stream cloud games with a mobile controller (Wifi 6 is good for streaming/casting)
- Retro game emulation handheld (PS2/Dolphin emulation)
- Using it as a mobile hotspot (to save battery life on their other devices)
- Reverse charging other devices
- Playing videos/podcasts in the kitchen
- Handing it to kids
- Connecting it to an AUX cable to play music in the car
- An Android Auto screen
- Connecting it to a projector/TV via USB-C
- Using it as a microSD reader to access terabytes of data
Focus on making it a glorified power bank, stop trying to turn it into a phone. ๐
Can't wait untill release ๐คค
