The CMF Phone 1 is now available in Indian market and the pricing starts at Rs 15,999. It is the first-ever CMF smartphone from Nothing and the company has replicated the strategy it used with Nothing phones- attractive design with decent specifications.
The affordable smartphone arrives with a removable back cover design and it is powered by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip. Here is all you would want to know about the specifications including the price of the CMF Phone 1, the sale and after sale information of the phone in India:
The CMF Phone 1 will hit the retails at Rs 15,999 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB built-in storage model. There is also the 8GB RAM with a 128GB internal storage variant with a price tag of Rs 17,999. The device is scheduled to launch in India via the Flipkart Online Shopping Marketplace. During the launch, one can get the color moonstone finished CMF phone at 14,999, with selected bank cards. However, this offer is only limited for some time.
There is no strategy being used to sell the accessories individually. They are available in a lanyard, Stand and a card holder and each of them is sold at Rs 799. The back cover that can be removed will be of blue, black, orange and light green color, and would cost Rs 1,499 each. Thus, buyers can purchase the phone charger at Rs 799, although this is offered only to those who are going to purchase the CMF Phone.
CMF Phone 1 sports a 6. 7-inch FHD+ AMOLED, with 120Hz refresh rate, 700nits nominal brightness, up to 2000nits of peak brightness. It comes with a punch-hole display, which is common in most generation/phones in the market. One can easily note that hardware construction is based on the removable back cover design. Thus, people who would like to have a new refreshing look every month can change the back cover instead of buying a new device or use different cases. The back cover that is sold separately comes with a screwdriver that allows you to open the back part of the gadget.
Lastly, the proprieties of the wheel are addressed. No, it does not twist and turn for fiddling and instead, one can connect a lanyard or a small stand to it that Nothing sells for $29. It is even providing a cardholder accessory that also fits the wheel. The concept is cool. Indeed, it can be stated that Nothing has established itself in the lower range category of smart-phones which is completely devoid of innovative devices. The device comes in a plastic casing and the rear panel can be in matt or leather style.
The recently released CMF Phone 1 is packed with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC. This is not even vouching for 2 years of Android OS updates and three years of security updates. The device is currently leveraging Android 14 and this announcement depicts that the CMF phone shall also be advisable for the Android 16 OS. As for biometrics, Nothing has the in-display fingerprint which is much better than having side-mounted sensors.
As for the battery, there is a conventional 5,000 mAh battery and 33W fast charging is supported. No smartphone manufacturer leaves out a charger within the retail box that contains the smartphone. Thus, one will have to purchase it as an additional item. For photography purpose there is a dual 50 MP rear camera. On the front, is a 16-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
