CMF Phone 1 is the first smartphone from the Nothing sub-brand and is expected to launch soon. CMF by Nothing has officially announced the name and confirmed the upcoming phone. It also teased key design elements of the upcoming smartphone. CMF is a sub-brand of the UK-based startup led by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei and focuses on innovative design. Previous reports had claimed that the CMF Phone 1 may be a rebranded version of the Nothing Phone 2a, which launched in March this year, but may have a significantly different design.
CMF Phone 1 coming soon
CMF by Nothing has officially confirmed that the CMF Phone 1 is “coming soon” via a post by X. The post also hints that the upcoming phone will debut as an entry-level smartphone.
Notably, early leaks about the CMF Phone 1 suggested that it could be an entry-level product priced around Rs. 12,000 in Korea. The smartphone manufacturer is yet to officially announce its plans to launch the phone in India.
CMF mobile phone 1 design teased
Although no other details about the handset have been confirmed, the company has shared a teaser image of the CMF Phone 1 in the aforementioned post. It reveals an orange faux leather panel with a circular dial placed in the corner, similar to the one found on the CMF Buds charging case. The dial on the TWS earphone case served as a lanyard holder. It is not yet known whether the dial will be used for other purposes on mobile phones.
