CMF Phone 1 Leak Hints at Surprisingly Affordable Smartphone

Nothing’s sub-brand CMF is all set to launch their first smartphone, as covered in a previous leak. But now we have some more information about its design, price, and specifications, and it looks like a departure from what you expect as it will be a budget-friendly device. CMF’s first smartphone could follow Nothing’s naming scheme and may launch as the CMF Phone 1.

According to 91 Mobiles, the phone will feature a 6.5-inch display, with Gorilla Glass protection. We can expect a single camera setup at the back, a 5000 mAh battery, and a MediaTek Dimensity processor to power the device. It will be either Dimensity 6100 or 6300 chipset. The device could run a cut-down version of the Nothing OS with 3 Android Updates and 4 years of Security patches.

Since this will be a budget device, we may see a plastic enclosure similar to the one on the Phone (2a). Based on the leaks, the design looks quite bland and uninspiring, but it could also be a fan-made render. Like the other products in CMF’s lineup, the Phone 1 may be available in three colors: Orange, Black, and White. The phone may be priced at about Rs 12,000 or $140 which is half the price of the Nothing Phone (2a) released earlier this year.

Nothing is trying to penetrate every segment of the Indian smartphone market to establish a presence. Similar to what OnePlus has managed to do over the years. Hopefully, the phone looks nothing like the leaked renders. The budget segment needs a refreshing design that CMF has the opportunity to bring.
