Nothing, and CMF by extension are brands that heavily focus on the design of their products. While limited to accessories in its initial years, CMF has finally stepped into the smartphone category. And it’s a looker! So, if you are searching for a phone that stands out from the crowd and does not break the bank, then the CMF Phone 1 is definitely the one for you!
CMF Phone 1 Overview
Design and Display
CMF Phone 1 is a stylish phone that hits a sweet spot of nostalgia. Its main design highlight is its replaceable back panel, which was the norm back in the day. The phone has screws placed across its back, that you can undo, swap panels, and accessories with stands, lanyard dials, etc. Colourwise, it comes in Black, Orange, and Light Green. Here the Orange has a synthetic leather finish, while the other two are made of polycarbonate.
On the front, this phone dons a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution. The screen also has a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a touch sampling rate of 240Hz. The screen on the CMF Phone 1 is an LTPS unit, meaning it does not support a dynamic refresh rate. Other than that, it offers 960Hz PWM dimming so that it does not strain your eyes during extended screentime.
Performance and the rest
In terms of performance, the CMF Phone 1 comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. It is an eight-core silicon with 4nm fabrication and a peak clock speed of 2.5GHz. Additionally, it has 8 gigs of memory coupled with either 128GB or 256GB storage. This phone is capable of virtual memory and external storage expansion of up to 8GB and 2TB respectively. Software-wise, it boots on Nothing OS 2.6 based on Android 14 and packs a 5,000 mAh battery for power.
The optics department on this phone is led by a 50MP Sony camera. It is coupled with a portrait sensor helping out with background blurring. The front camera on the CMF Phone 1 is a 16MP unit that doubles down as a face scanner. Other than that, it comes with dual SIM, 5G cellular, dual-band WiFi, and Bluetooth v5.3 support for wireless connectivity. It also supports 33W charging and 5W wired reverse charging.
