In Short

• Nothing CMF Phone 3 Pro may launch soon
• The smartphone could feature a metal frame
• It is likely to support 45W charging

Nothing’s spin-off brand, CMF, is reportedly working on the CMF Phone 3 Pro. The smartphone is expected to succeed the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which was launched in April last year. A fresh rumour now suggests that the Phone 3 Pro could arrive as early as the end of this month or in May. However, the company has yet to officially confirm these claims.

Nothing CMF Phone 3 Pro expected specs and features

According to a report by Android Headlines, the CMF Phone 3 Pro is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor. If true, this would mark a notable shift from MediaTek to Qualcomm, as last year’s model featured the Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset.

The smartphone is also expected to pack a battery between 5,400mAh and 5,500mAh, a slight upgrade over the 5,000mAh unit on its predecessor, the CMF Phone 2 Pro. Additionally, the device is likely to support faster charging. While the previous model offered 33W charging, the upcoming CMF Phone 3 Pro is said to feature 45W wired charging support. The earlier device also supported 5W reverse wired charging, but details about this feature on the new model remain unclear.

In terms of display, the CMF Phone 3 Pro is expected to feature an AMOLED display, offering a 2392 x 1080 resolution. It may have a punch-hole selfie camera on the front centered up top.

The report also suggests that CMF’s new smartphone will feature a metal frame, unlike its predecessor, the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which has a plastic frame. It also hints at some changes to the rear design, while the overall look is expected to remain largely the same. A hand-drawn sketch of the back panel shows two vertically aligned camera sensors on the left, with a third camera placed slightly apart. The position of the flashlight also appears to have been changed.

For context, the CMF Phone 2 Pro features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. Under the hood, it is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, paired with up to 8GB RAM. The device packs a 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired charging and 5W reverse wired charging support. For photography, it sports a triple rear camera setup, including a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide camera, along with a 16MP front camera for selfies.
