What is it?

Phone 1 is the latest creation of CMF — a sub-brand of Nothing. This is the first budget phone from the company that aims to provide uncompromised experience.

Why is it cool?

Phone designs have become way too generic. A bunch of cameras on the back panel, a small logo, a glass or metal body. The Phone 1 is a nice change from all of that. It comes in bright colours, flaunting rivets and a unique element at the bottom right corner on the black panel that allows you to mount functional accessories.

The phone is powered by a 2.5 GHz octa-core Mediatek processor with 16 GB RAM (8 GB RAM + 8 GB RAM booster) and has an expandable storage of up  to 2 TB. It packs a 50 MP Sony rear camera Ultra XDR and AI Vivid Mode along with a 16 MP front camera. With the 6.67-inch super AMOLED display, gaming should be fun, too.

Is it expensive?

The Phone 1 is priced at ₹15,999 for 6 GB + 128 GB version while the 8 GB + 256 GB version costs ₹17,999. CMF has listed the phone but it is yet to go on sale in India.
