After Nothing’s second brand launched with cheaper and more carefully designed headphones and watches, CMF is launching its own Android smartphone: CMF Phone 1 A smartphone that promises great power, great software and great design. All at a very low price.
It’s no surprise that design is important to Nothing, as the first Nothing Ears (1) made it clear that appearance is important too; an aspect that always tries to set itself apart from the crowd. Transparencies, curves, lights…And the unique accessories inherited by the new CMF Phone 1 are different from others.

Powerful, with a good screen and a unique rear
Nothing started by distinguishing the back of their phones to make them brighter, more unique and different from other phones. Because seeing a Nothing Phone from the back leaves no doubt, it is a Nothing. And CMF sought the same thing in Phone 1, despite the lack of light.
The colors have a certain industrial vibe, the LEGO style and the screw on the back create contrast as well as provides grip on accessories. A stand, a carrying strap… The CMF Phone 1 adds practicality and distinction in equal measure. Without increasing the price of the phone.
In terms of hardware, the CMF Phone 1 isn’t exactly short, starting with the display: 6.67 inch AMOLED panel It offers a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and has a top punch-hole for the 16-megapixel front camera. Maximum brightness always reaches 2,000 nits for HDR content, measured on a localized area of the screen.
In terms of raw power, the CMF Phone 1 is based on the Dimensity 7300, which is more than solvent in terms of performance, energy efficiency and graphics processing. Along with: 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage; Up to 2 TB SD memory without loss of space expansion.
In photography, nothing beats a rear camera: a 50-megapixel sensor and a secondary sensor dedicated to measuring depth in portrait mode. f/1.8 aperture, up to 4K and 30fps recording, digital stabilization (EIS) and with night mode in the camera app.
The CMF Phone 1 has a 5,000 mAh battery and allows fast charging up to 33 W (without the charger in the box). Updated to Android 14, the piece offers a fingerprint reader under the display and is protected against dust and water with IP52 certification.
