          What they did to the lanyard reminds me of how Apple did it to the iPod Touch.

            Finally Carl Pei showing his true colours.

            Start super cheap, then slowly milk the customer and make stuff more expensive with less functionality.

            He did that before

            He does is now again

            And people fell for it


            Also Nothing Phone 2a is 20 euro more than this trash, and Nothing Phone 1 is easy to find for around 299 euro and below.

              Cringe. All this hype for a swappable back cover?

                At 239 euro, no NFC

                I have seen 110 euro phone have it on board.

                  "Around the back, the CMF Phone 1 features a 50 MP f/1.8 shooter and a 2 MP depth sensor."

                  It was interesting until I read this part.

                    This is more like a hands on review, than an announcement.

                          First time in my life a phone makes no sense to me design wise.

                            Only 3 years of security update and 2 Android update!! The lowest end A04/5 has bettery support than this.

                              Pretty good, but that's a first for Nothing right there, using the infamous 2 MP auxiliary camera

                                The removable back is just gimmick, not repair friendly at all.

                                  DOA. For a few tenners more there are more capable devices in this price bracket. And the specs look half-baked. IPX2 and a 2MP depth sensor LMFAO. The A35 is a complete package at this price.

                                  Can they quit already? Just not competitive enough.

                                    Well done to nothing for trying something (not exactly) new. Replacing battery without any hot gun itself is commendable.

                                    Now what would be really interesting is it if they implement it on 3/3a.

                                      no nfc, no buy
