The CMF Phone 1 is anticipated to serve as an entry-level option within Nothing’s ecosystem, priced lower than the brand’s current most affordable model, the Nothing Phone 2a. (Read our full review of the Nothing Phone 2a here)
CMF Phone 1 May Not Come With Glyph Interface
The CMF Phone 1 is said to depart from its traditional Glyph interface, opting instead for a novel volume knob-like button positioned on the phone’s rear. The Nothing Phone 2a also saw the company reducing the number of Glyph lights at the back of the phone.
CMF Phone 1 Specifications And Features (Expected)
Details of the button’s specific functionalities remain undisclosed, leaving uncertainties whether it will serve a purely aesthetic purpose or offer additional capabilities. Nothing, however, suggests that the CMF Phone 1 could offer distinctive features intended at distinguishing itself amidst competitors.

The CMF Phone 1 is rumoured to feature a 6.7-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and thick bezels. The device is expected to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, which is also speculated to power the upcoming Oppo Reno 12 Pro.
The CMF Phone 1 may house a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging. Although these specifications have not been officially confirmed, it is certain that the smartphone will not include a charger in the package, similar to the likes of Samsung, Apple and Google.
The company has not yet detailed product information. However, an image recently posted on X showcases elements of the smartphone’s design. The image reveals that the phone features a vibrant orange colour, consistent with the colour used in other CMF products such as the GAN charger and CMF Buds. More colours are likely to be introduced at the official unveiling.
CMF, a sub-brand of Nothing, is focused on providing budget-friendly products. Notably, until now, it has only released accessories, including a smartwatch, charger, and TWS earbuds.
