CMF Phone 1 8+256GB - Unlocked Smartphone with 50 MP Rear Camera with Ultra XDR, 6,67" Super AMOLED Display and Nothing OS 2.6 - Light Green

As a lifelong Apple user, aside from one HTC Evo 4G phone years ago (We won't talk about how laggy and terrible that thing was and why it scared me away from Android altogether until now), this is the first phone I've had that wasn't an iPhone since the 3GS came out. I never thought I'd switch. This phone packs in everything you need and leaves out everything you don't to give you a very reasonable price; even during the beta phase in the USA. Long story short, I switched because the carrier I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max with cancelled my phone plan and 2 year financing on the phone when I dropped their Internet service for another carrier. Spectrum. No surprise there. So, since iPhones in the USA now are ESIM only, unlike the UK and Europe, unless I paid the phone off in full, I essentially had a really nice titanium WiFi brick as it was carrier locked and they (Spectrum) wouldn't give me cellular service unless I had their Internet service. That pissed me off. So, I wasn't going to give Spectrum another dime. I sold the iPhone at a Walmart kiosk and used some of that cash to buy the CMF Nothing Phone 1 in full here on Amazon. Aside from having to learn how to operate anything other than Apple's iOS, the setup was very easy. Nothing OS is spectacular and I love the esthetics. CMF Nothing Phone 1 doesn't have all of those flashy lights and haptics on the back which I like. Clean and simple. Like the days of old, us people born before the year 2000 know what it's like to be able to change the color of your phone by buying a different color "shell" if you will. They're bringing that back along with other accessories like a kick stand, lanyard, card holder, multiple different color back cases to swap out with 4 real and functional screws and one knob screw. I also have the CMF by Nothing Watch Pro 2, the fast charger CMF by Nothing as pictured and I can get 12 hours of high usage out of the battery and if I turn the phone off I can have it from dead to 100% in 1 hour, which is wild. The only thing I don't like is that you can't remove the battery yourself without voiding any type of warranty or breaking the rules, lol. Hopefully they'll resolve this with the CMF by Nothing Phone 2 and make the battery another accessory you can buy directly from Nothing if need be. In the USA do NOT use Version at all as they have the least amount of bands supported for cellular service. AT&T is second worst. Anyone else that doesn't use either of those two company's towers work perfectly fine. Like T-Mobile as I can get 5G and 4G LTE nearly everywhere. I was concerned about if this phone would be able to hold up to the strenuous use I put my phones through as I don't have a laptop and my phone is how I do absolutely everything. I have anywhere from 15+ apps constantly running in the background and the processor works just fine. Hardly noticeable from the iPhone 15 Pro Max although I know the iPhone's processor is better on paper. Expandable storage to add up to 2TB of storage via micro SD card where the sim tray is. 8GB of RAM and you can adjust a RAM Booster of phone storage between 2-8 more GBs of RAM totalling up to 16GB. So, you have a Super AMOLED full HD screen, a strong processor, a bigger 5000 mAh battery that's bigger than the 15 Pro Max, RAM, storage, etc. This phone can do everything my iphone 15 Pro Max could do aside from using your phone as a form of payment (NFC) which you can buy a smart watch that has the capability and pair via Bluetooth to bypass that minor drawback. If nothing else, I hope Nothing keeps their flagship Nothing Phone and the CMF by Nothing Phones going forward even if they have to cut the (2a) and (2a+) cheaper version of the Nothing Phone 2 out of their lineup. They've really got something going here. I can't wait to see what it turns into as I'm more of a fan of the CMF Phone than the Nothing Phone 2 flagship. Hopefully soon all accessories and case colors will become readily available in the USA after the beta phase this year and in December 2024 we'll have the new Android 15 update (Nothing OS 3) All of that to say this... If you're used to iPhone 15 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S20-whatever and are worried this phone might not have the hardware or software to do all of the tasks your previous flagship phone could do, don't. It does everything aside from NFC and have the fancy cameras and runs noticeably just as well and as smoothly and I use a lot of processing power, RAM and storage so take it from me. If you don't believe me, download the DevCheck app or the like on your old device and on this one and you'll find the things that matter are a lot closer than you think. Like screen, battery, fast charging, processor, RAM, storage, etc. Buy the device(s). You won't regret it.

This phone is fast clean easy to use easy to transfer to. I hooked up the cable with my old phone and I just worked. I was transferring from a 5-year-old OnePlus phone that had a failing battery and charging port. I'm pleased with the overall performance and sound quality of this device. It does only have one main speaker, but I use it a headset most of the time. The one speaker is adequately loud. I do use NFC for some things, so I got to watch that had NFC and paired it with the phone. This is an easy workaround to the NFC limitation. The call quality is is good but the Bluetooth range is not as good as my old phone was. The interface is clean and simple. I can easily get two days out of one charge on the battery using it about 6 hours a day. This phone has excellent performance for the price imo. The pictures seem to be okay for me as well, but I am very color blind, so I can't guarantee that the color matching is perfect since my color matching is terrible with or without a phone, lol. Other phones like my son's pixel take better night pictures than this phone does.

Excellent product, very good design and color, the system and the fluidity are excellent, for the price it is a recommendable device, it has some details, but in my case they are not necessary, such as NFC, wireless charging, headphone jack, and that depends on the taste of the people.

It is an amazingly good phone for the price, have had multiple Redmi phones at similar prices and this is significantly better than any of them in terms of performance as well as software. The OS is slick, fast and works great and the phone is better build quality than I would have expected at this price. Battery is also decent and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new phone.

For the price this phone is a great deal. Has much of the sophistication and key performance parameters of much more expensive cell phones and can do more than I need it to. Many cells have better camera performance but I use the camera sparsely and the quality is of no complaint. Would definitely recommend especially if one doesn't have a profound budget.

This CMF Nothing phone is awesome for the cost. I have a few complaints about how it operates, but overall the quality / cost is great. There is no "back" button or arrow like on a Galaxy, which is irritating, nor is there a "see all open apps" button, but it just takes some getting used to. The phone will also close apps, like "Freecell" if your finger touches too close to the side of the screen. The phone is also not water resistant, which for me is a big deal, but for others is probably not a big issue. Otherwise everything works great and the battery life is by far the best on any smartphone I have purchased in years. I would estimate the battery last about 3-4 times longer than my Samsung Galaxy S21.

I just switched over from iPhone and this is an amazing phone, super snappy and great UI design.even though they say it doesn't work with at&t, I'm getting VOLTE and 5G on at&t. arenaGSM also confirms that this phone supports most at&t 5g bands.overall this is a great phone, just wish they sold the accessories for it like the wallet and kickstand
