CMF Phone 1 by Nothing review

 

Nothing is a relatively new brand itself but their subbrand - CMF - is even more recent and so far limited itself to offering smartphone accessories with...

Unique, standout design with a focus on customizability, repairability and sustainability.

No charger in the box.

We have no doubt that the CMF Phone 1 will find its fanbase.

Cmf Phone 1

 

I used this $199 smartphone to cover a launch event in Paris and it was nearly flawless.

Excellent performance. Solid camera. Two-day battery life. Sharp and bright AMOLED screen. Well-designed software with good software support. Fun accessories and unique design.

Spotty band support in the US. No NFC.

CMF Phone 1 Review: What's Left But The Design? - Gizmochina

 

I'm hoping the next CMF Phone will be more and more modular, until a truly modular phone comes out.

Nothing CMF Phone 1 Review: Is the Cool Design mere Window Dressing?

 

The CMF Phone 1 is the first smartphone from Nothing's sub-brand, CMF. Find out my honest opinion in this full review on whether it is worth buying.

Unique design ; Excellent battery life ; Bloatware-free Nothing OS 2.6 ; Smooth 120 Hz AMOLED screen ; Very decent performance

Only 3 years of updates ; Disappointing camera performance ; Slow wired charging ; No NFC support

Would I recommend the CMF Phone 1 for $199? Yes! The CMF Phone 1 does some things very well. The design is unique, and no other manufacturer offers such a polished look. Battery life is excellent. Screen quality and performance are also very good for...

Review: Nothing's $199 CMF Phone (1) is either the best deal in Android or too good to be true

 

Cheap Android phones nowadays are probably better than they're given credit for, but it also feels like it's been a...

Nothing CMF Phone 1 Review

 

Nothing's CMF Phone 1 is easily one of the most interesting budget-focused phones we've seen for a long time, even if it's not perfect.

Attractive, fun design ; Very accessible price point ; Big, bright and vibrant display

Second camera is only for depth sensing ; IP52 rating means little moisture protection ; Slow charging

While Nothing’s CMF Phone 1 won’t be competing with some of the most capable phones around, its modular design charm, attractive Android user interface and solid everyday performance all punch well above its £209 price point.

CMF Phone 1 review: Exactly what the budget market was missing

 

The CMF Phone 1 stands out from the crowd with a unique modular chassis and a healthy dose of the brand's signature style, but should you buy one?

Unique and stylish design ; Bloat-free operating system ; Solid performance ; Fun accessories ; Excellent value

No NFC ; Only IP52 rated ; Simple camera setup

The CMF Phone 1 is the most stylish and interesting design to hit the budget market in years. It’s not perfect, but if you want something different, and don’t want to spend the big bucks, it’s certainly the way to go.

CMF Phone 1 review: cheap and cheerful can be a very good thing

 

Affordable internals under a modular skin make the CMF Phone 1 something of a bargain. Nothing's latest isn't perfect, though.

Performance and longevity you don’t expect for the money ; Eye-pleasing OLED display from a class above ; Screw-on accessories a neat design twist

Speaker only mono ; Software update promise could be longer

Proof that decent budget phones still exist. Some clever accessories set the CMF Phone 1 apart from cheap rivals; great performance, long battery life and a gorgeous screen better almost all of ’em.

Nothing CMF Phone 1 review: Great budget phone but no NFC - Techgoondu

 

Costing S$369, the CMF Phone 1 is an excellent offering by Nothing. The battery life wows, and the hardware choices make sense.
