Why the Nothing CMF Phone 1 is a Game Changer.

My full review of the terribly named, but absolutely amazing Nothing CMF Phone 1 - including camera tests, battery life etc. We are INCHES away from Apple at this point btw, so if you haven't subscribed yet, then I don't think you'll regret it, we've got something pretty special planned 😉

What do you think to the CMF Phone? A fascinating new ecosystem, or yet another gimmick?
Quick correction, turns out the phone is IP52 not IPX2 (which means it's a little better than I was originally told!)

I love how the creator of Nothing keeps saying "I don't know why people keep saying NOTHING changed when we change our products alot"

[MrUnknownXD]

Man I'm happy there are still companies like nothing out there who dare to try something new and not just keep everything "industry standard" like others who just rotate the cameras each year and call it a "REVOLUTIONARY DESIGN CHANGE".

Warning: The package you received is a reviewer's package. The regular consumer phone doesn't contain any of the goodies, sadly :( so you'll have to buy the lanyard, cases, stand, card holder seperately (and not cheap) here on the Europe mainland.

CMF phone is seriously shaking up the budget phone market. It's crazy how many features they've packed into this. It's great to see a high-functioning product at a lower cost point.

Finally! Budget segment got something interesting and not filled with ads

Loved to hear the term "jugaad" 😂❣

I was so close to buying this, so close! But having a swappable back plate while making the battery hard to replace seems like a conscious decision, intended to make repair difficult.
Any phone maker that gives me the ability to carry multiple batteries and easily swap them when needed will get my business.

No joke, I sold my iPhone 15 and got this one instead... I'm so done with overpriced phones that don't perform much better. My iPhone 15 still had the same bugs my iPhone 12 had. This new phone is amazing!

honestly I would bui this over a high end super camera phone, but the missing NFC module is unacceptable. NFC in 2024 is a must.

[mugnimugnistar]

this phone and 3D printing will be an absolute combo.

It's pretty crazy how good budget phones have become. A $250 phone with a 120hz OLED panel & 5000mah battery was a pipe dream just a few years ago. I really wish Nothing made the battery removable and added a headphone jack though

[drextrey]

The whole "Right of Repair" Compliance itself is already a Huge win.

I hope this kind of phone can go mainstream.

I am not currently in the market for new phones since I only replace mine if it broken and irreparable or after at least 4 years running.

But if I am, I will definitely buy this phone.

[petrolista]

Funny how removable backplates are considered new and an innovation, while they were just a standard feature on all old phones

[EricOkafor]

They knocked this one out of the park. If you won't buy one for the quirks, get it for the price to specs ratio. Best selling point imo.

[beasttv]

Finally something innovative after half a decade

[BernyBitBerny]

you’ve outdone yourself with this one, incredible!

[panagiotispappas]

I love it when companies actually innovate and make different and fun phones! The phone market has been so boring for the last years, not any major changes, just little improvements. No big company experiments or tries anything different these days!

[aizazrehman]

removable battery is honestly a missed opportunity with this phone man.

I dunno about you guys, but to me, anything Carl Pei does after OnePlus 2 all the way to 7, is a masterpiece. I love it.
