Nothing’s sub-brand CMF has been started teasing its first smartphone recently. Following of the partial look given by the company, a fresh render of the purported CMF Phone 1 has emerged, revealing its unique look but without the transparent and glyph touches from Nothing.
CMF Phone 1 lacks the transparent design
Courtesy of 91Mobiles, the image showcases the full back portion of the CMF Phone 1. What’s easily noticeable is the device comes in the signature orange shade that is utilized in CMF’s wearables. There is a dual camera setup aligned vertically more similar to the Nothing Phone (2) we’ve reviewed than the Phone (2a).
The back also looks a little busy rather than being plain and flat. For instance, there is a physical knob curiously positioned at the right corner. At the opposite left and sitting on the edge is a screw head while the center has etched three circles in different design.
It’s unclear how these design elements are going to work or what are their functions. But it’s believed the CMF Phone 1 will be offered with some kind of modular proprietary accessories like cases.
Going to the specs sheet, the Phone 1 is rumored to be equipped with a Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chipset instead of Dimensity 7200 that was first reported. The said mid-range chip brings comparable performance to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.
It was added the memory configurations will be available in 6/128 GB and 8/256 GB with an expandable storage via microSD card. The battery size is said to come with 5000 mAh along with a 33-watt fast charging rating.
As for other details, the CMF Phone 1 should sport a 6.67-inch OLED display in FHD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the rear imaging module is tipped to include a 50 MP main camera possibly paired with a 50 MP ultrawide snapper and a 16 MP front-facing camera. You can also expect the handset to run on Android 14 with Nothing’s skinned OS on top.
Nothing CMF Phone 1 price and release date
Leaker Yogesh Brar has collaborated with the outlet that sheds light on the pricing of the CMF Phone 1, at least in India. Accordingly, the mid-range smartphone will cost 19,999 INR (~$240), although this specified to a box price. Hence, the Phone 1 could be offered even at a lower cost, depending on the retailer.
Nothing is anticipated to make the CMF Phone 1 official this June with the shipment happening in July. By that time, we will learn if it which countries it will be launched.
