Introducing CMF Phone 1. Wonderful by design.
Leveraging @nothing‘s innovation and meticulous attention to design, it serves as a wonderful entry point to our entire product ecosystem.As others overlook this category, we’re giving it our full attention.
Staying true to its brand, the image shows a device with a bright orange exterior. The teaser also focuses on a unique design element located on one of the phone’s corners, which could be a volume dial or something else. However, there was a rumor about a “Nothing Lock” feature that would allow users to attach proprietary accessories like support brackets and lanyards to the device.
Previous leaks suggest that the CMF Phone 1 could have a 6.7-inch OLED with a 120Hz display, MediaTek Dimensity 7200 chip, 5,000 mAh battery with 33W wired charging, and two 50MP rear cameras with a 16MP selfie shooter. The handset is expected to cost between $249-$279 and launch in July 2024.
