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.

I bought this phone for my dad and overall I'd say it was a great phone, The screen is Large has a high response rate and is really bright with good colors. The phone has enough power from the processor. The tasks are easy and scrolling is smooth, it has enough RAM and storage that it will last and it has a MicroSD card slot in case you need more storage. The general build is decent although plastic, but I bought a case for it so you don't really realize.It charges quickly although it has no wireless charging and no NFC which is the biggest downside of the phone, apart from that, I would highly recommend if you're looking for a phone on a budget.

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.

If you don't mind no NFC and wireless charging this is amazing phone fast and great at everyday things game is smooth graphics are clear and pop off the screen even when playing in just high.Screen is bright and has a great feeling.DownsideFeels plastic but I love this due to the changeable backsCamera if you are one of those people that need amazing pictures then this phone is not for you they are good but not close to the flagships of Google, apple or Samsung.ProsGreat battery lifeEasy to useFastGeneral all round greatness

Bought over 4 months ago and so far, so good. In my opinion, best value for money phone currently on the market. Featuring the 8 core MediaTek Dimensity 7300 and 8GB RAM+8GB RAM booster. The operating system, powered by Android 15, is very customisable, smooth and well optimised for the hardware. Decent 50MP rear camera factoring in the price. Stunning 6.67" 120Hz AMOLED display going up to 2000 nits of brightness (the same as the iPhone 16). It also has an enormous 5000mAH battery which lasts me almost 2 days on a single charge. One downside that I have found is not having NFC, meaning you can't use contactless payment. For £169 (what I bought it for) it is a steal.
