Nothing’s budget sub-brand CMF, is all set to expand its product portfolio with the launch of its very first smartphone in the form of the CMF Phone 1.
This upcoming device is gathering all the buzz as it is set to be the most affordable device from Nothing to date and will target the sub-Rs. 20,000 price segment in the country.
Exclusive to Flipkart
Similar to Nothing’s existing product line-up, the CMF Phone 1 will be available exclusively on Flipkart in the country.
The partnership is in tandem with the brand’s current strategy for an online-first sales model.
No word has been said on the exact pricing, but the CMF Phone 1 is likely to be priced significantly less than Nothing’s flagship Phone (2) device, making it more attractive for budget-conscious buyers.
However, Nothing seems to work hard on retaining a feel of a premium, even at this low price.
Unique Design Touches and Specs
At first sight, the striking orange hue of the CMF Phone 1 is pretty noticeable, along with a leather-textured back panel.
The device seems to have a twistable knob at the bottom, though its purpose is being kept under wraps.
Nothing also teases a sandstone finish for its black colorway, indicating several different texture options.
As per leaked specs, the CMF Phone 1 will feature a large 6.67-inch OLED display panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Powering the device will be a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chip, with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
The device is expected to feature a 50MP primary sensor and a 16MP front camera.
It will be fueled by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.
Clean Software Experience
On the software front, the CMF Phone 1 will ship with NothingOS 2.6, based on Android 14.
Nothing’s clean and minimalistic software skin could be a major selling point for the device.
The CMF Phone 1 is rumoured to launch in July, though Nothing is yet to confirm an official release date.
With its unique design language, capable hardware, and aggressive pricing, the CMF Phone 1 could be a disruptive force in the highly competitive budget smartphone market in India.
