Don't be shy, let's be friends: josellclark
The time this video is uploaded Nothing OS 3.0 is already here. And it comes with lot of new things and even their own gallery app which make the phone more worthy.
Yeah and apparently the selfie cam is in 60 fps now 😩
its a good thing right?
This review format is quite fresh !! Loved it ! P.S. here in india too the phone does not come with the screwdriver. You get ut with the spare covers.
Thanks man lol. The Indian RUclipsrs I watched had the screw included 😩
@@JosellClark That must've been a special reviewer's unit given to them by Nothing. The retail package doesn't have the screw driver. Only people buying the additional back panel get that screwdriver cum sim ejector included with it.
@@JosellClark that's a review unit that's why ...
For a budget phone It has a perfect camera package, Althogh it has a good colour grading🤖
Currently using the CMF phone 1 for about 3 months now. Been enjoying it since then
It’s a good phone my guy!
Haven't U face screen touch issue while typing and gaming ?
@@Noah-o8k5e no I haven't faced any screen touch issue except from when I dropped it in water or when the screen gets dirty. Apart from those scenarios, the screen is perfectly responsive
I loved your audio so much, better than the audio cancellation it was before ;) Great video man!
Thanks my guy! 🙏🫶
I discovered your channel through this video. I checked your videos and damn! They're good quality. I also didn't expect that you're a Filipino. I thought it was an international channel. Keep it up bro. You earned a new subscriber. Laban lang!
Salamat sa supporta kababayan haha baka sipagin ako lalo gumawa ng content niyan 😂🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@JosellClark Hoping na makapag review ka ng more phones. Like s25 ultra. Pero ang mahal non HAHAHA. Anyways, More reviews pa po ng phone na 'a day in the life' format.
The editing is really good man! Keep doing this
Thanks my guy I will!
Just picked this up as a backup phone a few weeks ago, and it’s been pretty solid. Thanks to Nothing OS, it feels snappy, the battery life is decent, and the camera is… okay(?). I’ve been recommending it to friends who need an affordable phone or are getting one for a younger sibling or older parent.
Yeah man everyone I know who owns one uses it as a back up phone 😂
didn't know u were pinoy 'til i saw the car's plate LMAOO GREAT JOB DUDE, KEEP IT UP! subbed!
Hahahaha salamat idol! 🇵🇭 👊
After 3.0 update the phone is very smooth to use and the features and ui modification is kinda good, this is the best budget phone youll get and there may few best in market but this has the stock android experience though!!
absolute cinema 7:30 🙏😎🫶🫶
CMF!!! This is not a regular phone, this is a concept phone.
Snappy chipset, best display, best OS.. ❤
I'm so satisfied with this phone.
It’s a great phone. I want one as well lol
Don't worry we wont ignore you! Baka namn giveaway dyan hahaha
I hope CMF phone 2 comes with normal back inside of kid toy back panel.
😂😂😂 I agree
@JosellClark and that toy is expensive as hell
ganda ng review mo men :)) sana macompare mo rin sa other same priced phones niya or di kaya sa x7 pro, samsung a55 or other mid rangers hahaha
Alamat man! Ewan ko na sa Samsung lagi nagkakagreenlines kahit yung A55 daw haha
kakakuha ko lang nito from digital walker, napansin ko lang sa kanya nung di ko inupdate ang software mas mabilis syang malobat, pero after updating 3x mas kumunat ang battery life
Magkano get mo sir? 15k?
@JosellClark 17.5k po 8/256
I literally got this phone after my brand new galaxy A55 had green line and ghost touch issues, I only used the A55 for around 4-5 months.
The CMF Phone is great for the 1 month of me using it. I'll update after 5-6 more months of heavy use at college
Bro after 4-5 months is crazy. My S22+ took at least 2 years before the screen died 😂
It's an alright device currently I'm using it. But my previous phone Redmi Note 7pro destroys this phone in every aspect except performance which is expected.
Hahahaha that’s exactly what this is. An alright device 😂
@lakshyaversee I literally said "except performance" also there isn't much difference in terms of smoothness in MIUI. Most of the "features" in cmf are just gimmicks which you won't use after the 1st week of buying the phone.
@lakshyaversee ok kid.
Been using one for a week now, happened to find a used one, and was curious as its not for sale here locally.
All in all its a brilliant budget device. Everything is fine, only thing that is slightly annoying is the lack of NFC. But that is something i can live with. Very well rounded phone that is hard to beat for its price.
Where are you located? I rarely used the NFC functions on my phones anyway 😂
@@JosellClark Finland. I guess paying with your phone is a bit more common over here compared to the main markets of this device.
Though i dont really do that, unless i happen to forget my wallet when i am out and about.
Huhhh?? I'm also having the same phone but the rear camera design is different than that shown in the video
Dang bro what? Are you sure it’s original or perhaps it’s different in your country. Where are you from?
@JosellClark im from India... Have you applied some kind of protection over the phone's camera maybe ?? If not, u can try searching up the phone's design in others youtube videos or in Google.. the rear camera design is different in yours
I see it being different at 3:00 , 5:01, 5:12, and especially very much at 5:30 when you show a close up shot, in my phone the camera lenses pops out of the metallic part, but yours it's the opposite... Aa I said i think it might just be some kind of protection u applied.
I got the Nothing phone 2 it cost me $1050 AUD and the camera’s are so inconsistent sometimes it takes a nice image but soon as you try to zoom in it’s a pixelated mess the display turns green and grey when dimmed down at night , performance and battery have been great though . But doesn’t come close to any of my Samsung device’s , plus you can just install the nothing launcher on other devices now ..
I don’t think any android phone can beat Samsung lol. A lot of people are complaining about the same issue on their Phone 2. Hopefully they can fix that crap with an update 😩
can u try 2A plus !
If they send me one sure 😩 but I enjoyed the 2a lol you can watch that video in my channel if you want
Hey man! 6gb or 8gb Ram ? Which one should i buy for regular use not for gaming?
If you are totally not in gaming and heavy tasking then 6gb is worthy too but if you gonna use it for year's so go with 8gb ram because after update it takes more ram management too run phone smoothly
If your budget is tight then definitely go without any hesitation with 6gb it's still powerful
lol thanks for answering the question my guy!
What about app performance, app opening.. Are there any stutters, lags? Multi tasking?
I have cmf as my secondary phone have been using it for around 4months now I haven't noticed any lag/shutters while I was on android14, recently they released android 15 (3.0) in this recent update for some reason they removed some key features and personally I have been noticing slight lag while scrolling through RUclips it's not noticeable if you don't go mainly looking for it but it's there, though on the bright side the battery life feels better after the update.
Hopefully all of these will be fixed in the updates..
If you're planning on buying cmf then you should go for it!
Personally there was no phone that seemed better than cmf at the time when I brought it.
@Z-3-R-O thanks for giving me the clarification. I saw 2a for few seconds for real and i liked it very much but i don't have the budget right now. So i thought to go for cmf. Hey, one more thing, can i pause security and OS updates from Android 14 and can i resume updates after a year? Can i still get the old updates?
facebook sucks
Thanks for the other dude for answering the questions lol. Yeah I didn’t experience any lag and yes there is a split screen option. Although I think this is the last year where they’ll support Android updates for this phone so keep that in mind too.
@@JosellClarkwhat about multi tasking
aye! we live in the same city!?
Haha Sto. Tomas, Batangas? Nah I’m from Laguna haha that was my sister’s place
@JosellClark ohh, my dad's from Calamba so I go there from time to time too
Where can i buy a cmf phone 1 here in the Philippines?
lazada, I bought mine last 1.1, costs 12.3k on sale.
Check the link in the description bro. Wait for a sale I suggest 😂
Sadly, this phone doesn't have NFC. Therefore, I can't use Google Wallet or some apps required reading card information.
Man a lot of people are complaining about that. Because of that imma try out google wallet 😂
@@JosellClark I think in India Most of mid range user needs NFC ... We dont necessarily carry out wallet or credit card thats a big bonus here.. If you are interested check our payment system called UPI
I ordered on flipkart but realised No NFC so i cancelled and dont mind to buy again
Wait for the Nothing Phone 3a if you want lol it’s coming this March
@JosellClark 3a is not for me again 🤣 I cant downgrade from 8 gen 3 to 7 gen 🤣
i feel camera stabilization sucks even there is lag in recording
Yeah it’s not good but “decent” hahaha
Selfie camera is 1080p60
I don’t know why but this unit only goes up to 30 💀
Sir please it's an Highly request to you to do same Type of video with Samsung Galaxy M35 5g ..I am from India And struggling to get decision to buy I need this type of a worthy video please ❤
Man I hope they send me one because I don’t think they sell that here 😩
Ohh Shit No worries Sir Thanks For Your Kind Reply...But Nice content sir we expect more like this with some more budget category phone ❤Love From India Sir
Bro I legit dropped my phone sa plangganang may onting tubig 3 days after buying it. luckily it still works fine, naagapan ko. that IP rating makes me hella scared of water
LAGAY MO SA SAKO NG BIGAS HAHAHA
@@JosellClarkdoesn't work bro it's a myth 😂 rice is only good to eat 😂
Sir gumamit kapo ba nang mic sa pag vlog mo?
No sir straight from phone audio lang. Pero pag A rolls at Voice overs po gumagamit ako ng mic
wait for nothing phone 3a coming on 4 march consider it before replacing the samsung
lol that’s exactly my thought!
How about pixel 8a sir?
If someone sends or lends me one 😂😩
Almost got this phone then I realized it didnt have NFC....
What do you use the NFC for? I’m curious since a lot of people are saying that it’s a dealbreaker for them
@@JosellClark I don't even use phone payments, I use it to charge my bus pass from wherever instead of going to a train station
This phone is great but I'd honestly would skip and buy poco f6 for better soc.
Poco phones are good too!
Everything is good except it's camera lens like dam it Has tons of scratches just after a week like I just used it very delicately if I ask me like no drops no rough slide and all
Am disappointed with the nothing for this gotta replace the lens of possible
Perhaps the lining of your pockets are rough or get a better case. The one I used didn’t have that problem
@JosellClark yea used it without a case for some days now I have it let's see if it stops👍
unfortunately no nfc😢
Unfortunately 😢
Yu are living in the philipines
Hahaha yes bro why
Can attest I am from India
The main drawback is this phone doesn't have NFC but still there is no use for NFC in india 😂 So purchased successfully 😂
😂😂😂
@JosellClark using cmf 1 for one month 🔥🔥🔥
Camera review took too long. Sorry but people considering this phone are not camera fanatics as RUclipsrs are.
It's a day in a life. What do you expect?
That’s my real usage of a smartphone and how I can document my day in the life of
@ I expect to be able to relate to someone's experience. Especially given the type of device at hand.
Iphone clears. We both know it
How long did it take to edit this video...?
Yes i will comment on every video u upload from now on 😀
(and blow up ur notifs😊)
About 2 weeks lol I got busy 😩😩😩
doesnt it only have 1 more yr of android update left?
Yes till android 16 and 2 year security patch update
Man our phones would come to that point too anyway but yeah that sucks 😩
Im still on my android 10😌 and still run fine @@JosellClark
Huy Philippines!
REPRESENT 🇵🇭 🦟 🌴 🥥
Back camera artificial enhancement a bit too much.
Anything to make a video look presentable I guess 😂
bro this or iphone 11 or pixel 6a, i'm confused af
Pixels and iphones have good cameras, literally flagship level best in-class, but the batteries are the absolute worst. I have had pixel and an iPhone for a couple years in the past, but since I got my cmf phone 1, my battery anxiety is now zero. Although the cameras are average, currently my requirement is not a camera since I'm a photographer myself. Cmf if you want battery life, pixels and iphones if you want cameras. Software is equally smooth and good on all three devices.
Thanks for answering the question man lol but if it were up to me I’d get the CMF Phone 1. Back when I wasn’t a “content creator” I would just get the phone that has WiFi and good battery life 😂😂😂
CMF1 with gcam if your issue is only the camera. if you are heavy on video usage go with iphone
Looks like he got a haircut in china
😂😂😂
Wait is it 120fps or 90fps in codm?! 5:59
My nothing 2a phone camera get's more contrast 😔
It’s a slightly better phone and I love that one too!
Can you elaborate please I'm confused between 2a plus and CMF thank you
Why you need a screwdriver when you dont have other bsck cover ? If you order back cover you get screwdriver . Logic , isnt it ? -_-
lol other content creators promoted it that way so of course people will expect it 🤓
the phone is good except the cameras
It’s a budget phone that’s expected but yeah it’s pretty good!
Bro what happened to your hairs 😂
My stress manifested to my hair 😂😂😂
@@JosellClark 😂
if "another samsung phone" is a flagship go for the samsung... cmf 1 is a cool phone, but lacks a lot to be able to be at the price.
I’ll wait and see if Samsung will release a nice budget smartphone this year 😂
@JosellClark why not getting a pixel?
@ not sure where to buy it here in the Philippines. I bought my Samsung S22+ in Lazada and my friends bought their Nothing and CMF phones there too
@JosellClark I see, but couldn't you use Amazon or some external service, like IT stores. I don't know how things work there, im saying these things without knowing how brands work there.
@@marcelosantos21433 there are It stores here that sells Pixel phones. I barely met anyone in Asia that has one. Perhaps we are not the target market for it since Samsung and Apple are dominating and phones like Oppo Redmi and Vivo are the go to for budget phones
Shesh 😎
Another Samsung phone
I’ll see in a few months 😩
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!!
