Bunny_21h might I remind you this is a budget friendly phone?

Bunny_21h

SameerParvatikar cmf phone 2 pro is also is budget device and before that cmf phone 1 was too, they didn’t have this ads and bloatware as built in feature and your comment doesn’t make any sense. Also nothing community are not able to digest the facts and deleting comments.

nowilltobreak yeah, I understand the difference, I’m just curious as I haven’t seen a 2 MP in years.

The NP3 macro is stellar.

CMF1_hacker Where are you seeing it has OIS?

The official website only says it has EIS

CMF1_hacker

Anonymous963 yeah, I saw that, the online specs, I posted might be wrong.

I really miss the OIS on the CMF1 in the dark and if it really is EIS-only, my enthusiasm is markedly decreased.

its mentioned on GSMArena.com (genrally true but no gurantee), i don’t see anywhere its mentioned if it has ois or eis on the official website

Rob ⚡️ @Carl Please it’s a request REMOVE Bloatware and The Lock Glimpse Feature. And let’s make Tech Fun Again 😄. I hope Nothing is reading all our needs and requests and we get the Stable version (feature loaded) soon, Because we need good stuff.

NeoSamurai Here is a way to remove the Lock Glimpse feature package via ADB: https://nothing.community/d/45901

Lol guys, this is a cmf phone 2 pro reskin, look at the cameras layout and hardware. Even worse, the cameras are downgraded. What are you doing, Carl..

Anonymous963

thelahee Plus only 2 Android updates

Will get 1 “update” in a month or so as it shipped with Android 15

They’re not really hiding it either…

CMF 2 Pro device id is A001 whilst the 3a Lite A001T

CMF1_hacker

thelahee I don’t see what’s wrong with that. Saves R&D costs and makes a damn good-looking phone compared to the CMF2P. If the 50MP main lacks OIS like the CMF2P, that is disappointing. No number of MP is to make a wide-angle ever look good with the barrel distortion that all have.

nowilltobreak

thelahee Price anchoring: Cmf2p is great but nothing design>…but 3aL has bad camera so buy 3a… but 3a has no metal body so buy phone 3.

its a marketing tactic where no one wants to buy a product if the cheaper model does something better than the more expensive one

CMF1_hacker

nowilltobreak we’ll the 3a(lite) looks a ton better than the 3a/3a pro and slightly less good than the 3.

thankfully NOTHING has given up on those dated parallel cameras of the 3a. the camera surrounds on the NP3 and NP3a(lite) are stellar 🙂)))))))))

man those 2a/3a/3a(pro) model looks VERY dated know and the new design language is great!

nowilltobreak

CMF1_hacker personally i also hate the 2a/3a design but 3a pro is my pick out of all other

ik why some people hate the camera bump bur it acts as a good hand rest.

Rob ⚡️ same chipset as CMF phone 2?

nowilltobreak

Gawasrahul yes

CMF1_hacker

nowilltobreak I think it’s the same PCB (mainboard as the specs are identical and the cameras in the same place). Not sure if previous glyph lights were on the PCB or not.

TupePotato

Rob ⚡️ I just wish you didnt have Single Mono Speaker with it. In 2025.. a dealbreaker for me

madalin_T

This one looks better than the flaghip , too bad about the 8gb of RAM, otherwise I would not mind it.

Anonymous963

2023 Nothing: no bloat, no ads, no 2mp macro cameras

2025 Nothing:

😢

Rob ⚡️ Only one glyph?

MadhavJatdeolekar

Rob ⚡️ oh this is only replacement of cmf 2 pro

Lukas_F

Ok, so this is cheaper than my base model 3a yet it somehow has Nothing OS 3.5? Meanwhile I’m still stuck with NOS 3.2? Essential Search was announced months ago and I’m still waiting, yet this phone has it since the launch and for a cheaper price than the base model 3a? I feel confused.

Also what do you mean by “sales start in select markets” ? A bit more transparency would be greatly appreciated.
