This phone is full of stupid decisions... They make the back removable but not the battery, why?? They remove NFC which is available on phones costing 100 less... And they give the phone a mono speaker for some stupid reason.

So many brands out there that give you more for the money.

    CMF you have a space for allotting some useless screw but no space for 3.5mm jack.
    Mid range phone with some additional Jugaads.

          It's only mid range phone with some additional tadka other than traditional phone.

            Hiw come they managed to make it as ugly as the Nothing phones? Even the ROM UI looks so ugly and depressing.

                  One thing it offers that most phones in the category don't is that 720 nits on the slider. That's massive brightness and right along the current flagships. This, along with its general build and overall spec, makes it, in my eyes, the ultimate budget phone. It's got the big screen, with flagship level brightness, HDR support, great software, easily fixable, insanely low price, and enough performance the majority of people. This thing will sell like hotcakes.

                    I really like where this company is going but they should have reduced the screen to 60hz and put those savings into NFC.

                    I have a strong feeling.theyre going to start selling battery replacements like fair phone.

                      If you are in India, I would strongly suggest you to go for moto edge 50 fusion. For 3000₹ more, you get all the box contents like case, charger(68w), arguably better screen, stereo speaker with Dolby Atmos, two 50mp rear shooters with the main shooter having OIS, smoother animation in the UI overall, CMF is just a gimmicky phone trying to hide all of its flaws by giving a "removable back" although you can't essentially remove anything apart from the back cover.

                        Seems to be the only lower mid range phone that does not exaggerate the size of its main camera sensor by putting a very big lens above and then another big black ring around it

It’s a shame this phone’s only getting 2 years of updates though

                              I know you all have a raging passion to be against nothing and its founder, for reasons unkown to me, but at least don't be so dense. This is a great budget phone.

                              "you can get a cheap poco or redmi with nfc"
                              Yeah, with 60% of the performance and battery life.
                              And suddenly India got big on NFC. Starting today.

                                Also this phone isn't good value, you can get a cheaper Poco or Redmi that has both stereo speakers and NFC.
