CMF Phone 1 8+128GB - Unlocked smartphone with 50 MP Sony rear camera with Ultra XDR, 6,67" Super AMOLED display and Nothing OS 2.6 - Orange

My old phone decided it wanted to be a paperweight, so I lost everything that was as on it, blasted thing. I had to get a new phone quickly because I couldn't keep using the old (8yr old) Sony, I came across these "NOTHING"phones and then started to look into them, wow is all I can say, wow. What a phone I love that you can choose whether you want to have an Android OS, or the beautifully different NOTHING OS and it really is different, in its looks with the way the apps look and work, paired back with only what you want on the phone, which is so much better. It has everything you would need, the quality is second to none, the screen is super responsive, the connectivity works every time, even the speakers are breally good, which is amazing. My wife bought me the matching Nothing Earphones and they are just as beautiful and there is a specific app designed for connecting up more Nothing items so the watch is next for me

After a really bad experience with a Ulefone phone, this CMF phone is an absolute gem! Initial niggle with connection to WiFi but CMF Customer Support were superb. So easy to transfer everything from previous phone, set up was smoothest ever. And NO BLOATWARE - Amazing!Really easy to operate, intuitive controls and this is day 3 without having to recharge the battery! (Although admittedly on day 2, I hardly used it).

Took a punt and really pleased - a great phone at a great price. Feels and looks like a quality device with a bright screen and snappy response. Can't fault anything on it so far.

Incredible value for money. It's simply amazing!No NFC that's a shame, but this phone is amazing!

I'm blown away by this phone and what it costs.I can't think of another phone on the market that costs the current £169 that has 8GB RAM, expandable storage, 120hz Amoled and a 5000MaH battery.This runs the full version of Nothing OS which is a minimalist styled version of Android. It comes with no bloatware to speak of (another first at this price point). The phone runs really quickly, with no noticeable lag. I've had phones cost double this that didn't run as smoothly!The design is a bit like marmite, you'll either love it or hate it. Personally I love it, loads of smartphones look identical these days so I'm glad for something a bit different. However if it's not to your taste just put a case on and enjoy the rest of what the phone has to offer.The 3 notable things this device doesn't have are optical image stabilization, wireless charging and NFC.NFC is the big one that almost stopped me from buying this device, in the UK contactless payments are the norm and it seems a bit of a mistake to have not included this. I would've happily paid another £20 for this device if it had this functionality. Nothing do sell a card holder case which could negate the issue.For me personally I'll just pull out my wallet and use my card, the tradeoff is one I'm willing to accept.Battery life is phenomenal, I actually have 2 of these devices (one for work, and personal). The work one generally just gets used for 2fa the occasional phone call and message, on a full charge it will sit there turned on 24/7 and lasts over a week! The standby drain or lack of is amazing. It will generally only lose 1% overnight.My personal one which I use quite a bit more will easily last 2 days. At the end of the 2nd day I'm generally at about 40-50%.Nothing seem to be committed to regular updates too, in my ownership I've gained access to loads of new apps and functionality. This is a breath of fresh air compared to some other manufacturers.Aside from lacking OIS the camera is surprisingly good (Note I say Camera, singular. The 2nd camera is actually just a depth sensor) and can produce good results in a wide range of environments. It has a form of electronic stabilization that can be turned in the settings and works by slightly cropping the image to keep it steady.If you're into customization this phone is also more allowing of that than other devices. The back cover can be removed easily with the screws and be replaced with something else. The community seems to be growing around this device, I've even seen a 3d printable nerf gun case for this phone!Unless one of the 3 features I've mentioned that are missing are a deal breaker to you, you could certainly do a lot worse than buying one of these.

HAS TO BE THE BEST BUDGET SMART PHONE OUT THERE VERY FAST, BATTERY LASTS WELL PERFORMS LIKE A TOP OF THE RANGE IPHONE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I’m extremely disappointed with my recent experience with Nothing’s repair service. I purchased a CMF phone 1 that arrived defective and was assured the repair process would take 5-10 business days. It’s now been 24 business days, and I’m still waiting for my phone to be returned.What’s even more frustrating than the delay is the complete lack of communication throughout this process. I haven’t received a single update about the repair status or any indication of when I might expect my device back. This has left me feeling ignored and undervalued as a customer.I understand that delays can happen, but clear communication and proactive updates are essential, especially when customers are left without a critical device for weeks. The inconvenience this has caused is significant, and there’s been no effort from Nothing to address the situation or offer any form of compensation for the extended wait.The lack of accountability and complete disregard for their customers is shocking.This experience has completely shattered my trust in Nothing. I wouldn’t recommend their brand to anyone - it’s unreliable, poorly managed, and a complete waste of time.

Bought over 4 months ago and so far, so good. In my opinion, best value for money phone currently on the market. Featuring the 8 core MediaTek Dimensity 7300 and 8GB RAM+8GB RAM booster. The operating system, powered by Android 15, is very customisable, smooth and well optimised for the hardware. Decent 50MP rear camera factoring in the price. Stunning 6.67" 120Hz AMOLED display going up to 2000 nits of brightness (the same as the iPhone 16). It also has an enormous 5000mAH battery which lasts me almost 2 days on a single charge. One downside that I have found is not having NFC, meaning you can't use contactless payment. For £169 (what I bought it for) it is a steal.
