Introducing CMF Phone 1. Wonderful by design. Leveraging Nothing’s innovation and meticulous attention to design, it serves as a wonderful entry point to...

OOOOH, new challenge for this product ! Price will be the war to win? Let see how the design will be, I like the design simplicity of CMF design.

This looks really interesting could it be a volume wheel who knows I do like the colour very orange 🍊 be interesting if they have different colours too. Got some texture on the back too which looks nice will see when it actually comes out 😊

Is that a volume knob? That is super cool. I hope the cmf device runs a stripped down version of Nothing OS without any bloatware and receives 3 years of software updates. I wish it is a compact phone, with screen size around 6″. But chances of it being compact device at this price is very low. 🥲

Ooo this could be interesting! I’ve liked the choices around CMF and I hope they stay experimental! I wonder what we will see from the dial on a Phone.

Rob ⚡️ entry point to our entire product ecosystem

To me, the idea that this could be an “entry point” also implies that we could see similar pricing/placement of this device against other Nothing products (akin to how Buds are placed against Ear) but stripped back in some way and experimental in others. Watch Pro comes to mind because it didn’t use Wear OS, potentially we will see a more experimental OS spun off from NothingOS.

I initially thought the CMF PHONE 1 was a phone (1): CMF Edition, and wondered why nothing didn’t go for the (2) or (2a) instead. After looking online I’ve realised that may not strictly be the case (but could be, if it’s meant to be a budget phone).

The wheel is interesting. It would be great for zooming in the camera app, but if the phone is more than 22cm tall the wheel is in the wrong place for volume control – unless this is a foldable.

I wonder if this will be nothing’s compact phone. I’m in the market for one, but sadly this CMF phone isn’t for me because of the choice of colour (that can’t be entirely hidden with a case or skin).

Could be a good phone for school children, if it’s cheap enough and is designed to encourage less screen time.

yeohgh

love it, cant wait!!

Rob ⚡️ Wait! Is that a volume knob in a phone?🧐 .? Or knob which will help to scroll the content in a page?

Very exciting. Can’t wait to see how you guys tried to make it useful in real time…

Oh, wow, yet another budget smartphone…
I´d much more wish for inauguration of / and managing stability as well as maturity of existing products.

I really hope the - presumably - plastic phone is made entirely from recycled plastic. Knowing what we all know about the damage plastic is doing to the world, I think it irresponsible of manufacturers who choose to make products from plastic to then choose to support the production of more plastic instead of recycling that which is already smothering the planet.

If the CMF PHONE 1 is a budget phone, would it have been more economical to make the phone (1) cheaper and release a new range of colours?

That aside, it appears Nothing wants to try something new and are reimagining smartphones with their latest device. Look forward to seeing what they have in store.

Interesting thoughts. CMF is a budget / low tier brand by market positioning. They have to keep the nothing and CMF products visibly apart to avoid cannibalising themselves. Thus the CMF phone 1 will fit in this scheme -no higher tier phone to expect.

Would be dope to have this realised with as much Recyclate as feasible.
I don´t See any reasonable link to affect Phone 1 appearance though. Rather, it should probably disappear from the market soon.

Perhaps. That would then be far from mature and in line with the market.
I mean, who really longs for a physical scroll in 2024?

PhenomGaming

is this really a new phone? is this really a new phone? I think more of a CD player from the 2000s with the wheel that served as volume

Well, it would be the top left corner of phone in photo

And it will have a leather back,

Magic dial for volume and also can be shutter button and many other features

It will have a 120hz/90hz Oled display

50 MP main and 12 MP ultra wide cams

And Nothing OS or a similar CMF OS

Chipset can be Snapdragon 7 gen 2 or mediatek dmy 7000+

It will be 5G with dual sim and can be under 17k in INR

Imagined CMF Phone 1

Front View:

Display: The front of the phone features a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with vibrant colors and high contrast. The bezels are slim, maximizing the screen-to-body ratio, and there is a small punch-hole or notch at the top center for the 32-megapixel front camera.
Edges: The edges of the phone are rounded, providing a comfortable grip.

Back View:

Branding: The CMF logo is prominently displayed in the center of the back panel.

Side View:

Fingers crossed this is in the USA too. I need this in my collection

Well no one can say the circular feature in the corner was stolen from any other phone. I wonder what it is for? It is knurled so it seems to want to be rotated. 🤔

flo_rahil

Excited for this. I wonder if we will get the exact same NothingOS experience or it will be a different CMF.OS ?

tomkarbowski

Wonder if it’s something as basic as a lanyard holder. Or something more sophisticated.

Its gotta be some sort of scroll wheel , like on watches with a rotating bezel (galaxy watches)
Wouldn’t be just a volume knob. Would have to work for brightness as well.

It’s defo going to be this phones line stand out feature such as the glyphs on a nothing phone
