Nothing launches the CMF Phone (1): A budget-friendly device with a unique design
Nothing is turning heads in the smartphone world yet again, but this time with a budget-friendly option. The recently unveiled CMF Phone (1) is making a splash, notably for its remarkably low starting price of $199. While this version is exclusively available through Nothing’s US Beta Program, those in India and Europe have access to slightly different configurations with varying price points.
One standout feature that might surprise you at this price range is the CMF Phone (1)’s impressive display. With a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED screen, a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and animations, and HDR10+ support for vibrant visuals. The screen’s brightness reaches a peak of 2000 nits, which should make it easily viewable even in bright sunlight.
