A standout choice for early smartphone buyers, the CMF Phone 1 provides an entry point into Nothing’s entire product ecosystem and design philosophy. This device promises to redefine the mid-range smartphone market with its innovative design, flagship features, and affordability.

A Fresh Approach to Design

Engineering Aesthetics

CMF Phone 1 celebrates the beauty of raw craftsmanship with its uniquely adaptable nature.
