Nothing launches budget-friendly CMF Phone 1 with standout features

The CMF Phone 1 by Nothing is a new budget smartphone starting at $239, praised for its AMOLED display, long battery life, and unique features like swappable covers. It stands out in the budget market, despite lacking NFC and wireless charging.

The phone offers a vibrant 6.67-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a clean software experience similar to stock Android. However, it has a limited two-year software update policy, which may affect its longevity.

While the camera performance is decent for its price, it struggles in low light. The CMF Phone 1 is compatible with T-Mobile but lacks support for 5G on AT&T and LTE on Verizon, limiting its appeal for some users.
