CMF Buds 2 teaser video shows a new design for the Smart Dial
Nothing’s sub-brand CMF will introduce its first Pro phone on April 28 (that’s the Monday two weeks from now) along with three TWS headphones: CMF Buds 2, Buds 2a and Buds 2 Plus.
You may have gotten an unofficial peek at those, but here is a video showing the CMF Buds 2 design that was posted by CMF itself:

The trademark Smart Dial on the case has a new look, but we’re not sure what the two holes are for. The transparent look of the dial ties into Nothing’s love of transparent materials, while the case colors feature CMF favorites Orange and Light green.
The Nothing Community forum has an official post with some more details. The Buds 2 will have hybrid ANC that will squish noise by up to 48dB (that’s slightly less than the 50dB value for the CMF Buds Pro 2). The new buds will be tuned by Dirac and they promise all-day battery life.

The CMF Buds 2 will be the vanilla version of the second generation. The CMF Buds Pro 2 have been out for a year now, the Buds 2 Plus should be somewhere between the 2 and Pro 2. The Buds 2a should be the affordable option. And don’t forget about the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which will be “ultra-slim” and “ultra-light”, according to this teaser clip from a few days ago:
Ultra-slim. Ultra-light. Ultra-sleek.

"...we’re not sure what the two holes are for..." - have you not seen the cmf buds 1 with the exact same design - minus the transparency? it's for a lanyard which they were offering to customers with the cmf buds 1.
