After much speculation and numerous leaks, Nothing has finally raised the curtain and officially announced to coming up with the CMF Phone 1. It was speculated that the device, which is launching soon will be Nothing Phone 3 (as guessed by the enthusiasts), but finally Carl Pei (the CEO of Nothing) has clarified via X (formerly known as Twitter) post that the teased model.
Although he hinted that the device will not launch anytime soon, we think this new device will be budget-friendly (mid-range in the Indian market). However, the announcement might disappoint those who were eager for the launch of the other Nothing Phone.
Here is everything we expect in the upcoming CMF Phone 1.
Unique Design Teased
The CMF Phone 1’s other details remain undisclosed, but it is said that the smartphone will come in a unique design and two colour options. The teasers hinted at the matte finish and colour options in black (earlier teaser) and orange (on the teaser shared today on X).
Although there is very little to show about the mysterious wheel on the rear panel of the upcoming smartphone, the purpose of it is yet to be explained by the users.
Expected price tag
Following the pricing structure of other existing CMF devices, the upcoming Phone 1 is expected to be a budget-friendly smartphone too. Talking about smartphones which are being launched under the label of ‘Nothing’ originally are usually priced around Rs 40,000, and then later drop to Rs 30,000 (accordingly).
Nothing recently introduced a new series named ‘Phone 2a’, that targets the Rs 25,000 segment. This further suggests that the CMF Phone 1 could be priced under Rs 20,000 range, (as per the speculations).
