CMF Phone 1 8+128GB - Unlocked smartphone with 50 MP Sony rear camera with Ultra XDR, 6,67" Super AMOLED display and Nothing OS 2.6 - Black

I bought this phone as a backup for my Galaxy Z Fold 5.This could also be great for a main device.It has very good quality, smooth 120hz, the battery is unbelievably good, the phone is fast, and the OS is great.One thing I don't love, is Nothing not being able to give us a gallery app, so you have to use Google photos, and it's not as fast as a normal gallery app.But I didn't buy this phone to take pictures, so for me, it's not really a problem. I'm sure they will come up with a native app soon. It also has no NFC, but as I don't care about that as I barely use it on my main phone, the phone is perfect for what I need.If it's something you'd be using on a daily basis, consider buying another device.I just updated the lock screen and home screen wallpapers so it matches with my personality and I can finally say I LOVE this phone.It's cheap, fun, and very fast.I can't wait to try all the different accessories. People with a 3D printer will have so much fun with it!

I'm blown away by this phone and what it costs.I can't think of another phone on the market that costs the current £169 that has 8GB RAM, expandable storage, 120hz Amoled and a 5000MaH battery.This runs the full version of Nothing OS which is a minimalist styled version of Android. It comes with no bloatware to speak of (another first at this price point). The phone runs really quickly, with no noticeable lag. I've had phones cost double this that didn't run as smoothly!The design is a bit like marmite, you'll either love it or hate it. Personally I love it, loads of smartphones look identical these days so I'm glad for something a bit different. However if it's not to your taste just put a case on and enjoy the rest of what the phone has to offer.The 3 notable things this device doesn't have are optical image stabilization, wireless charging and NFC.NFC is the big one that almost stopped me from buying this device, in the UK contactless payments are the norm and it seems a bit of a mistake to have not included this. I would've happily paid another £20 for this device if it had this functionality. Nothing do sell a card holder case which could negate the issue.For me personally I'll just pull out my wallet and use my card, the tradeoff is one I'm willing to accept.Battery life is phenomenal, I actually have 2 of these devices (one for work, and personal). The work one generally just gets used for 2fa the occasional phone call and message, on a full charge it will sit there turned on 24/7 and lasts over a week! The standby drain or lack of is amazing. It will generally only lose 1% overnight.My personal one which I use quite a bit more will easily last 2 days. At the end of the 2nd day I'm generally at about 40-50%.Nothing seem to be committed to regular updates too, in my ownership I've gained access to loads of new apps and functionality. This is a breath of fresh air compared to some other manufacturers.Aside from lacking OIS the camera is surprisingly good (Note I say Camera, singular. The 2nd camera is actually just a depth sensor) and can produce good results in a wide range of environments. It has a form of electronic stabilization that can be turned in the settings and works by slightly cropping the image to keep it steady.If you're into customization this phone is also more allowing of that than other devices. The back cover can be removed easily with the screws and be replaced with something else. The community seems to be growing around this device, I've even seen a 3d printable nerf gun case for this phone!Unless one of the 3 features I've mentioned that are missing are a deal breaker to you, you could certainly do a lot worse than buying one of these.

The CMF phone 1 really is brilliant. I had an iPhone 12 and apple watch previously but simply couldn't afford to upgrade it. I did some research and checked the reviews before what I thought was taking a risk and got this phone, but I am so glad I did because it is fast, responsive and does everything I want from a phone. The screen is great, battery is brilliant and the OS just works without any issues. I love the engineer look and the fact you can change the back etc. It even works flawlessly with my hearing aids making my life so much easier. The only downside I can see for other people would be there is no NFC but I have never used that anyway. I really recommend this phone to anyone.

The phone itself is well built, good quality, very quick and responsive.Great camera, very easily scratched lenses though they would be better if they were inset as opposed to protruding.This phone has NO NFC so please beware of that if you need/use NFC.I know it's called nothing but the phone doesn't even come with a USB cable let alone a plug which is crazy cause every time I plug it in using an apple plug and cable which is very fast I get a 'not charging at optimal speed message'... Well, supply the proper cable then.Other than that, it's a good phone at a fair price.

The internal components used are of much higher than usual quality from this UK-made phone. The camera is excellent. The sound and music output is the highest quality I have ever heard from a portable device, but you will need a USB C DAC to connect to standard jack headphones (only a few quid from Amazon - eg. Nimaso). Battery life is superb with up to 3 full days of normal use on one charge (I don't play games with adverts, but Wordfeud and Spades Royale were part of my tests). Standard latest Android and virtually no bloatware make this easy and intuitive to operate and configure. The screen is bright and clear, and colours are vibrant. Migration from my old phone was painless and easy, using the USB C to USB C cable supplied. It comes with a screen protector fitted but no free case. For £209, this is great VFM.

I love the simplicity of this phone, have everything that I need, work all the apps that I need, have more memory that wills ever use, the quality is great because everything is so simple and you can replace easily if damage.For some people like my wife the fact that doesn't have NFC and wireless charger it's a big problem, but for me it's excellent to be honest, I always switch off the NFC I my previous phones and the wireless charger I pretty useless in my opinion, the phone gets hot, takes forever to charge and can easily damage the battery, so the fact that this phone doesn't have this functions it's a plus for me.And the best part of all it's the amazing price. Seriously the price it's amazing.
