floydb1982, 15 Jul 2024The Nothing CFM Phone 1 is not worth it. It has no United S... moreAre you mad? Or something else? What are you comparing.
Whatever but honestly I'm using redmi note 11 pro 4G currently but I'm so disappointed about this phone.
1.so much heating on simple tasks. While gaming uff leave it 50°C+
2. Camera is literally like a shit. 16mp camera feel like 2MP
108mp main camera is not wirth at this price. Lack of
focusing subject. after using camera for 5 min device get
heat and lagging.
3. Battery performance is also not up to mark.

After seeing the cmf camera samples it awesome at the
price range.

    I am a person who uses a phone for internet browsing and mobile gaming. When I want to buy something I use a credit card and when I want to hear something I pull out my wireless earbuds. This phone was made people like me.

    They put a chipset in this thing that is on par if not better than the latest iPhone chipset, gave it a Amoled display, and quality battery for $200 dollar. The only phones that offer specs like that in this price range are Chineese brands that can be difficult to obtain for someone like me who lives in the US. I will admit the replaceable back is a bit of a gimmick that I might never use, but the rest of the phone is great value.

    If lack of NFC or lack of a headphone jack is a deal breaker please don't dis this phone. It's great value for people like me.

Please make a technical comparison in terms of processor and how come you can get mtk 7000 series with only 200 bucks on this phone if you do not have some backlash like the lack of nfc. Please think. Im tired of people keep complaining and argue without comparing other phone specs on sheet. You can see other brand still powered by sd695 and mtk6080/mtk6300

        I don't personally care about the lack of stereo speakers as I would never use them for anything (phone speakers aren't great usually, and I got earbuds for music/calls anyway), but no NFC is a deal-breaker in this day and age.

          mqondy, 13 Aug 2024You need to be realistic this is a 200$. Fone even a $80 phone from TCL has stereo speakers (+NFC), yes it might be bad but at least they have it and overall louder

                    deRykcihC, 30 Jul 2024i would rather take those than this, it's like having ... moreI agree, the CMF's main selling point of a removable back cover just feels like a gimmick when it's no easier to repair than your average phone.I appreciate they wanted to do something different, but they really missed the opportunity for an easily repairable design, on top of the lack of stereo speakers and NFC.

                    But if I were to live in the UK, it's definitely not a bad phone for £210 considering the performance and battery life. Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Infinix, and Tecno are also a lot more expensive there, so there's not a whole lot of better options for the CMF's price point.

                                well. i have a good experiance about smart phoes. i will recomment A55 , because all the newly launch mobiles have lack of too many features which we realise after using them. i am still using one plus 9 pro but i can say this phone has lack of many good features. except inhance motion video feature.

                                    It's got more features than the CMF 1 - stereo speakers, NFC, has performed better on tests, better camera + video quality
