Today marks the second sale of the CMF Phone 1 in India, available exclusively through Flipkart. Launched recently, this smartphone has quickly garnered attention for its affordable 5G capabilities and innovative features. Priced competitively at Rs 15,999 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant and Rs 17,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model, the CMF Phone 1 offers significant value for money, especially with ongoing bank offers that bring down the effective cost to Rs 14,999 and Rs 16,999 respectively.
One of the standout features of the CMF Phone 1 is its MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, ensuring smooth performance comparable to higher-priced models like the iQOO Z9 and Poco X6. The smartphone runs on Nothing OS, promising two years of Android OS upgrades and three years of security patches, starting from Android 14 and extending to future releases such as Android 16.
The device boasts a 6.7-inch FHD + AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing vibrant colours and excellent visibility even in sunlight, thanks to its peak brightness of 2,000 units. Its punch-hole design complements the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of the phone.
Another unique feature is its removable back cover design, allowing users to customise their phones easily with different back covers sold separately. This design innovation includes a built-in screwdriver for easy removal, and an option to attach accessories like a lanyard or small stand, enhancing both functionality and personalization.
In terms of battery life, the CMF Phone 1 houses a robust 5,000mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging, capable of lasting up to 12 hours under average usage conditions. Its dual rear camera setup, featuring a 50-megapixel main sensor, delivers impressive daylight photography with vivid colours and detailed shots, while the 16-megapixel front camera ensures clear selfies and video calls.
However, it's important to note that the CMF Phone 1 does not include a charger in the retail box, requiring users to purchase one separately.
