At first look, I am fairly keen on the CMF Telephone 2 Professional’s aesthetics. As ever, I applaud Nothing for designing a bodily product that exudes uniqueness and character. At its asking value of $280, the Telephone 2 Professional’s metallic body and frosted rear panel feels surprisingly premium within the hand. Nothing says the gadget is the slimmest and lightest cellphone it is produced but, coming in at a thickness of 0.3-inches (7.8mm) thick and a mass of 6.5oz (185g).

Conceptually, I really like the thought of a modular smartphone with its personal bespoke accent ecosystem.

active noise cancellation
and IP54 water and dirt resistance. The charging instances match proper in with the design language of the Telephone 2 Professional, and the devoted dial is a pleasant visible flourish. I do want the dial was capable of management output quantity, however even in its ornamental state, I am proud of its inclusion right here.
