Nothing CMF Phone 1 - Specifications

All right, so CMF Phone 1 by Nothing is kind of a confusing name, but what this phone's trying to do, not confusing at all. Love it or hate it, this is one of the most interesting new phones in the world at the moment. Because Nothing came along a few years ago and said, "Hey, what if we tried to make an average budget phone "but with a focus on software and design?" And it kind of worked, those phones are pretty good.

And so now, CMF is the budget sub-brand of Nothing, and they've come along and said, "Hey, well, what if we did the same thing but even more?" So that's how you end up with this.

This is a $200 Android phone that on paper doesn't stand out specs-wise in the sea of other $200 Android phones that you can get but it does stand out with its software and design.

I just want to start with the design first because that's the most interesting thing about this phone by a mile. So, this is the CMF phone in black. And on the surface, it's nothing too crazy, right? Not thinking about its price cause of how smooth it is, and all the software features it has, that's pretty sick. It's the $200 phone engineered to look cool.
