We watched three-four movies on the smartphone, in which we had selected the quality up to 1080. And the smartphone gave us better results than expected. Because everything was visible very clearly in it. At the same time, its display was also visible very clearly in direct sunlight. Even when direct sunlight falls on its screen, the app icons, time, battery etc. are all clearly visible.

Design and look of CMF Phone 1

CMF Phone 1 is the first smartphone of the Nothing CMF company, so the company has used a lot of unique technology in it and presented its back panel as an interchangeable back panel. You can customise its back panel according to your needs and with this you are given blue, black, orange, white back panels. However, tools have also been provided in the smartphone to change the colour of the back panel. The back panel of the smartphone that came to us was white. But when we changed the colour of the back panel, we liked it very much.

The back panel of the smartphone has been given leather finishing so that the smartphone does not slip from the hand. The camera setup of the smartphone has also been adjusted giving a great design which looks great. High quality elements have been used to make the smartphone. Which looks very shiny and premium. And it looks very attractive.

The smartphone has been given a very good design with curved curves on the corners. And on its right side you get to see the switch button. And on the left side the volume button is given. The speaker is given at the bottom and along with that it has a C type USB port. Overall, the smartphone is very attractive to look at and everyone likes it at first sight.

Performance of CMF Phone 1

CMF has used a very strong processor in its very first smartphone. For your information, let us tell you that MediaTek Dimensity 7300 has been set in CMF Phone 1, which Realme company is using in its smartphones nowadays. The 4NM TSMC processing technology used in it takes its performance to the next level. If we talk about RAM and storage, then two variants of 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage have been made available in it.

Due to the high power processor, you can use it in gaming and multitasking without worry. And for your information, let us tell you that I played BGMI on the smartphone and I did not see the problem of hanging and lagging, although the smartphone started getting a little hot after 3 hours. But at first it did not have any effect. Because in this you get to see the clock speed of 2.8 hz.

The smartphone has been made based on Android 14. And one important thing is that when you are setting up the smartphone, you get two options in which Nothing and the other is Google UI. But here you will be confused about which option to choose. So for your information, let us tell you that if you choose the option of Google UI. Then you will see icons in the smartphone just like other smartphones. But if you choose the option of Nothing. Then you will get to see quite unique apps icons in it. And you will also see a lot of changes in the widgets. You will be able to see the changes on the screen itself, you will see a lot of uniqueness.

And if you buy a charger then you will be able to charge the smartphone 100% in just 50 minutes. However, we used this charger and its battery backup helped us a lot. We were quite impressed with its battery backup as we tested it on a single full charge by doing video shooting, picture quality checking, gaming, watching movies, scrolling Instagram reels, etc.

And still we got 7% ​​battery left at the end of the day. We used the smartphone for about 11 hours throughout the day, while we kept the internet on throughout the day. And if you do not use much internet on the smartphone once fully charged, then this smartphone is also capable of giving you up to 24 hours of battery backup.
