I remember when Oneplus 2 came without NFC 10 years ago and people were mad about it. How can you make the same error again with nfc is so widespread? Definitely a bummer.

If I didn't use my NFC, I'd have to carry 5 different cards on me and a wallet for those. That's one extra pocket being used and one more thing to worry about.

      I don't care about their marketing. I just like the design. Whether you think it's gimmicky is your own opinion.

        I am bootloader unlocked on all the phones I use and therefore can't pass the Play Integrity check. Therefore, paying with my phone has never been an option.

              I really don't understand why people and tech youtubers are hyping this phone. Removable back? Just go get one case for 3-4$ and there you go. For the price this phone does not offer anything, you will be better with some poco phone at least you will get charger, NFC, 3.5 jack, stereo speakers for the same price, not all these useless *features" CMF offers.

It doesn't look like it'd even be hard and the hardest part of replacing batteries on phones these days is getting the back off anyways.

Not to change batteries. It may be a missed opportunity but it definitely is not pointless. This is especially useful if you damage the back and sides or just bored with the color.

                                      Why even have a removable back without a removable battery? Is this a literal joke? Do you open the back just to see the failed opportunity by CMF?

                                        Most people in here don't get what Nothing/Cmf is trying to do. They're non-conformists trying a different route that most are taking. You people compare them to Chinese brands who churn out models by the dozens yearly without much thought and excitement about them. They all look the same, under different brands, and even have sub-brands similar to their parent companies but not CMF. They may be a sub-brand but apart from the OS they are going a different look from the parent company. They are London-based and fairly new company that just released their FIRST phone. I say not bad for a budget/mid-range phone
