What do you think about the CMF Phone 1 and what would you want to see in the future by Nothing?

[chemicalburrito]

I look at this and I realize that the Razer Edge at the $200 sale price was a hella good deal. Provided you don't want to actually use the device as a phone, of course.

[RetroGamingWithDeadfred]

Love that you're doing this kind of reviews on here. They sent me there nothing Bud's Pro 2 and those are very impressive so it definitely recommend pairing those with this phone. Cheers to you retro Tech dad

[Seeker_of_Fr]

Can anyone share their experience emulating Nintendo DS and DOS on this?
Great video BTW, thanks for making a no-nonsense video and channel that dives deeper than synth benchmarks and COD + PUBG performance.

[WMARUoriginal]

That’s a nice screen for the price. Also I picked up the gamesir pro 8 from your link in the other video. It’s such a good controller!

[Salvatorez]

The dolphin emulation really shocked me here how good it ran. I would still be impressed if it only ran psp but for $200? Can't beat that! Good work!

[gockartzz]

good that ur trying wuthering waves since its more demanding than genshin but we will see what genshin 5.0 will bring since they will upgrade graphics

[simonfeilder]

Great video! This thing is a tidy little powerhouse 💪

[mfyoutubewatcher]

This is the exact video I was looking for! Appreciate the hard work you put into these videos

Hi! I see you printed my case design, the one at the 4.35 mark. How do you like it?

[lucasbrown]

The design is sleek and modern. It feels great in the hand and looks amazing. Mediatek chipset seems very promising one in terms of the performance.

[turnbasedtoddy]

You always get a lot of bang for your buck in performance when you go with the budget phones like this. The only thing that kind of kills it for me is how long the whole set up gets once you add a controller to it. It didn’t look too bad with the backbone though, that’s probably the controller I would pick to go with it just to keep the size down. I would also be interested to know the weight once you add a controller to it.

[kayeoffers]

it's a dealbreaker if you want to use it as a phone for me due to no NFC. As for gaming on phones, the Motorolas are available really cheap on prepaid. I got a Boost Moto Stylus 5g 2024 for like $60 with a month of service.

[Coco-Loco]

This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for! Thankyou so much!
I've heard that after the many updates the phone has gotten, it's gotten even better at performance. Is that true in your experience?
Also if you don't mind me asking, how would NFS Most Wanted 2005 work on the phone? I'd love to play it again! :)

[bulletpunch]

Nobody made a atleast a joycon attachment 3d print?

[thanax]

they shouldve atleast put in a Snap Gen 1. the phone wouldve been beast. $250 price tag.

[cho-vn]

Eh! More OnePlus adjacent devices. You're the best Rob!

[kumbackquatsta]

goes to show how pathetic the tensor 4 in the pixel 9 really is

[ivertrionnicblazingwell]

Does 3ds emulation work great in this phone?

[mindyournose]

Got the 2a when released and cmf buds pro 2 recently 11 hour battery hi res etc.
