Overview of the CMF Phone 2 Pro
The CMF Phone 2 Pro has gained positive attention as its release last month. Priced at just $279, many users appreciate its playful design and solid features.
YouTuber Zack Nelson's Durability Test
Zack Nelson, known for his channel JerryRigEverything, recently tested this new Android phone. His videos often push devices too their limits through scratching, burning, and bending tests. While these tests are extreme, they provide valuable insights into a phone's durability.
Scratch Resistance of the Display
The CMF Phone 2 pro features a display made from Panda Glass. This material is similar to Gorilla Glass and offers good scratch resistance along with drop protection and touch sensitivity. Nelson found that the screen held up well against scratches during his test.
frame Vulnerability
In one part of the test, Nelson used a box cutter on the phone’s frame. The plastic frame did not withstand this test well; it showed notable damage from the blade. This highlights that users should avoid using sharp objects near this device.
Creative Testing with Carrot Drawing
Nelson also demonstrated how easy it is indeed to mark up the plastic back of the phone by drawing a carrot with his box cutter. This further confirms that while fun in design, the back is also made from plastic which can be easily scratched or damaged.
Flame Resistance Test
Next was a flame test where he exposed the phone’s 6.77-inch AMOLED display to direct fire. Surprisingly, it endured prolonged exposure without severe damage—showing decent heat resistance for everyday use.
Bend Test Results
Finally came the bend test where Nelson applied pressure using just his hands to see how much flexing occurred before any breakage happened. Unlike some phones that have snapped under similar conditions, this model only flexed slightly but continued functioning normally afterward—a promising sign of its structural integrity.
Final Thoughts on CMF Phone 2 Pro
At conclusion of his testing session, Nelson expressed enthusiasm about both its innovative features and affordable price point: “I’m excited about what CMF will create next.” His feedback reflects growing interest in budget-friendly smartphones that don’t compromise too much on quality or performance.
