Get ready, tech enthusiasts! Nothing is gearing up to unveil a range of new products under its CMF sub-brand in India next month. The star of the show? The highly anticipated CMF Phone 1, marks the debut of the first CMF-branded smartphone in the Indian market. While details have been scarce, a recent leak by tipster Yogesh Brar sheds light on the CMF Phone 1’s specifications, pricing, and launch details. Let’s delve deeper and explore what Nothing has in store.
Unveiling the CMF Phone 1: Specifications Breakdown
Processing Power and Storage Options
The CMF Phone 1 is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC. At first glance, this might seem like a step up from the Dimensity 7200-Pro found in the Nothing Phone 2a. However, it’s important to note that the Dimensity 7200-Pro boasts higher performance capabilities. In reality, the Dimensity 7300 serves as the successor to the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset launched last year.
The CMF Phone 1 is rumored to come in two storage configurations: 6GB RAM with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM with 128GB storage. Both options are expected to offer expandable storage via a microSD card slot, allowing users to increase capacity by up to 2TB.
Display and Battery Life
The CMF Phone 1 is tipped to feature a vibrant 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display. This display offers a smooth visual experience with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring silky-smooth scrolling and animations. For those concerned about battery life, the CMF Phone 1 is expected to pack a hefty 5,000 mAh battery. Coupled with the power-efficient Dimensity 7300 SoC, this promises ample power for a full day’s use on a single charge. The phone also boasts 33W fast charging support, ensuring you can quickly top up your battery when needed.
Camera System and Security
The CMF Phone 1’s camera system might cater to basic photography needs. Leaks suggest a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. While details on specific camera features are limited, the 50MP primary sensor should capture decent photos in good lighting conditions. The depth sensor likely assists in creating portrait mode effects with a blurred background. For capturing selfies and video calls, a 16MP front-facing camera is rumored to be onboard.
The CMF Phone 1 is expected to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor for secure and convenient phone unlocking.
Software Experience
Out of the box, the CMF Phone 1 is expected to run Nothing OS, based on the latest Android 14. Nothing OS is known for its clean interface and focus on user experience. It remains to be seen if the CMF Phone 1 will receive the same level of customization options available on the Nothing Phone (1).
CMF Phone 1 Price in India (Expected)
According to Brar, the CMF Phone 1’s price in India will likely start from Rs 15,999 for the base 6GB/128GB model, with the 8GB/128GB variant potentially hitting Rs 17,999. It’s important to note that these prices might be inclusive of pre-order offers or bank discounts. The actual retail price could be slightly higher, potentially in the range of Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 more.
