Hello Moto, 09 Jul 2024Then it should be advertised as a phone for kids, because n... moreI would. And, please understand that the target market doesn't need NFCs. Payment can be done via QR code.

    This phone is whatever and earlier I dismissed it as a silly gimmick, but I'll say this: at least Nothing is trying something. The glyph lights on the 2/a, these scew on pieces - gimmicks, ok, but they are trying something besides 6.7 inch glass brick #12,322

    Kind of like unihertz - love them, hate them, at least they are bringing different form factors back to the market. more choices, more competition.

    do something besides lean on your name, Samsung

      The Nothing CFM Phone 1 is not worth it. It has no United States cellular network compatibility. I couldn't pay for public transit, food, or other things (I currently use with Gallaxy S24U to pay with) because the CMF Phone 1 has no NFC. I like setting my Galaxy S24U phone on a charging pad and the CMF Phone 1 has no wireless charging compatibility. The CMF Phone 1 only has a single Mono 1.0 speaker setup built-in? What a joke because The Galaxy S24U has a 2 channel stereo audio setup with one on the bottom and one on the top. Galaxy S24U come with 7 years of support and the CMF Phone 1 has only 3 years of support. The CMF Phone 1 needs much longer support. Galaxy S24U is a better smartphone than the CMF Phone 1 will ever be.

And even then, Sony makes the odd phone that has an headphone jack in their top tier range. Many budget phones still have one, especially in this price range.

                Jassa, 13 Jul 2024Is this phone worth buying ?? Or not ?? Only if you want clean UI. Other than that its prettry much mediocre device. No dual speaker, not so good camera, design is awful since it's hard to grip, no 3.5mm port in this price range where all other brands do give the port.

                Poco x6, Narzo 70pro, Realme P1 are much better devices albeit with mediocre UI.

                      I do not understand what is special about this, hype success, but really, again same as any other 6.7inch tablet with hole and this one is missing NFC and QI.
                      Ok it is different in that it is worse than other offerings.
                      I still remember ie. MI9t pro that did not need to have hole in display 4 years ago.

                        Video playback of 24hours is crazy. This chip is so efficient.

My pixel 6 is rooted (BL is also unlocked) and passes basic and device integrity. Not only can I use nfc, I can also use Google's RCS. I don't think you're hiding root well if you can't get wallet working.
