CMF Phone 1 design confirmed, shows off device from all angles ahead of July 8 launch

CMF by Nothing has finally confirmed the design of its first-ever smartphone. The company has released a new teaser image, which shows off the CMF Phone 1 from all angles. It even reveals that the handset will come with interchangeable accessories and covers. The device will come in 3 different solid colours as well. Here is everything to know.

The official image shows that the CMF Phone 1 will come with a plain back panel with a subtle CMF logo at the bottom left corner. There is a dual rear camera setup and we can also see a few screws at the back. The company will seemingly offer a small screwdriver as well to let you remove the rear panel of the CMF phone.

“The CMF Phone 1’s design prioritises functionality and individuality. Users can easily swap cases for different colours or materials or attach purposeful accessories to meet their daily needs, giving new meaning to customisation,” the company said.

The purpose of the wheel is finally revealed. In case you have been imagining, the wheel doesn’t rotate. The teaser shows that one will be able to attach a lanyard or a stand to the wheel. The idea of offering a way to use the phone with a stand quickly is interesting but if the company is giving it for free, then it would be super cool because people can anyway buy budget third-party stands for their devices. It is currently unknown whether Nothing will offer the accessories along with the smartphone or whether one will have to purchase them separately.

“The CMF Phone 1 stands out with its unique, adaptable nature, inviting users to take on a co-designer role with its interchangeable accessories and covers. This adaptability allows users to truly make the CMF Phone 1 their own, reflecting personal style and preferences,” the company said.

The CMF Phone 1 is confirmed to pack a dual rear camera setup, which will include a Sony 50-megapixel camera with an f/1.8 aperture. The company is claiming that the device can capture “naturally beautiful images.” There is also the Ultra XDR feature, which Nothing says will make your photos brighter regardless of the lighting conditions. The company has revealed that the device will house a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, which is likely superior to what other devices in its rumoured price range offer.

The CMF Phone 1 will launch in India on July 8 and will be live-streamed at cmf.tech. Alongside CMF Phone 1, the brand will also launch Watch Pro 2 and Buds Pro 2 on the same day. While the price details are yet to be confirmed by the brand, the smartphone is tipped to be priced under Rs 20,000. You can stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the updates.
