Its options vary in texture. The white variant of the device comes with a matte, sandstone-like finish, while the light green and black models are dressed in a glossy, frosted glass. Additionally, the hero variant in a striking orange hue, offers a two-toned look with a matte and metallic gloss body.

The most noticeable details on the CMF Phone 2 Pro are its camera setup and the exposed screws. Unlike common smartphone designs where the camera lenses are placed on a slate, CMF Phone 2 Pro's are planted in separate circles, protruded and surrounded with metallic accents.
