Nothing unusual smartphone CMF Phone 1 presented. Very bright, with replaceable covers and a ridiculous price.

Nothing is presented the first smartphone under the CMF brand (it is used to sell budget devices).

The Phone 1 model costs only $199 (~17.5 thousand rubles), which is not much by the standards of modern smartphones. But for this money, the gadget offers many unique features, most of which are related to its case.

The Phone 1 comes with a black back cover that can be unscrewed using the included screwdriver. The cover can be replaced with a colored one (orange, light green, or blue).

Each cover can literally screw on a MagSafe-like card holder, and there’s a hole at the end of each panel for attaching accessories like a stand and a lanyard ring.

Replacement covers cost $35 (~3000 rubles) each, and accessories cost $25 (~2200 rubles).

Although fire safety is impossible, there is no direct access to the battery and other components. Also because of this, it was necessary to abandon protection from water and dust. The smartphone is protected only from splashes according to the IP52 standard.

The rest of the smartphone’s characteristics are also at a good level for its price:

▪️ 6.7-inch OLED display with 120Hz support
▪️ MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, manufactured using 4 nm process technology
▪️ 5000 mAh battery
▪️ Fingerprint scanner under the screen
▪️ 33W wired charging
▪️ 50MP main camera with depth sensor for portraits
▪️ Front 16 MP
▪️ 8GB RAM
▪️ 128 or 256 GB of permanent, Japanese microSD memory cards

Cons: no NFC, no dynamic frame rate. To have display always showing either 60 Hz, or 120 Hz. But otherwise, it’s a regular Nothing smartphone with NothingOS, based on Android 14.

The CMF Phone 1 will go on sale in the US, Europe and India at the end of July. [9to5Google]
