Nothing’s sub-brand CMF is gearing up for the launch of its debut smartphone, the CMF Phone 1. Aimed at the budget-conscious consumer, the CMF Phone 1 is expected to offer a unique blend of affordability and functionality, marking Nothing’s entry into a new market segment.
Expected Features
The CMF Phone 1 is rumored to feature a 6.67-inch 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, promising vibrant visuals and smooth scrolling. Under the hood, it is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, a successor to the widely-used Dimensity 7200, known for its balanced performance and power efficiency.
The phone may come with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, offering ample space for multitasking and media storage. A microSD card slot is also expected for expandable storage.
In the camera department, leaks suggest a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP ultrawide sensor. A 16MP front camera is expected for selfies and video calls.
A 5,000mAh battery is likely to power the device, with 33W fast charging support ensuring minimal downtime. The phone is anticipated to run on Android 14-based Nothing OS, offering a clean and intuitive user interface.
Expected Price
While Nothing hasn’t officially confirmed the price, leaks and rumors suggest that the CMF Phone 1 could be priced under ₹20,000. The base variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage might retail for ₹19,999, with discounts potentially bringing the effective price down to ₹17,000. This pricing strategy aligns with Nothing’s aim to cater to the budget segment.
Launch Details
Nothing officially confirmed the existence of the CMF Phone 1 earlier this month, but the exact launch date remains under wraps. However, given the frequency of leaks and rumors, the launch is expected to happen soon.
With the CMF Phone 1, Nothing is venturing into the competitive budget smartphone market.
