Removable back with non-removable battery is just insulting!!! Combined with 3 years of security updates make it clear - they want to buy a new one soon!
While the MTK Dimensity 7300 naming may be confusing 9allegedly performs worse than MTK 7200 ) , I find the phone itself quite impressive. However, I'm curious about its 5G band coverage & battery drain on cellular. The modular back design is innovative, essentially turning it into an expensive case, which could be how Nothing plans to monetize. It's ironic that Carl Pei criticized secondary sensors as gimmicky in the past, yet they're now included in this phone. Overall, despite its quirks, this could make for a solid secondary device. PS: Love to see microSD card slots.
Even the ones that arent... All the ones getting a release today on embargo day we're very much handpicked by them to be given the early release to meet the embargo. They all had to agree to a whole bunch of restrictive terms. They get all the extra goodies.
I think cmf failed to understand under 20k mobile market in India. No charger is a big bummer. If a person can spend more than 25k on a he/she won't mind paying 1000-2000k for charger. But in under 20k price game changes. People buying phones under 20k are already on a budget and you want them to buy charger separately is a mistake. And the price of accessories should have been halved of what they have priced them. Most of the people will hesitate to buy charger separately and you expect them to buy Rs.1500k for back cover. If you want your customers to play with the look of the phone, make the game affordable.
ip 52 doesn't do much anyway, in my opinion, so user replaceable battery would've been better, and huge thanks to you ❤, Ash, for making such wonderful videos it really helps to make buying decision bro 😊
My opinion on cmf phone 1: Pros: Good design Good battery Nice features Clean UI Good Screen (120hz Amoled) Cons: No Charger No Headphone Jack Single Speaker 2MP Crap sensor No Ultrawide Sensor No support for 1080p@60 in video! No 4k video in front camera No NFC support In display fingerprint sensor ---------------------- Chipset and charging is alright for the price, removable battery is missed opportunity since they didn't got ip rating might as well have made battery removable! (I think Samsung M34 is better option)
35 bucks for the back plates is to the point where if you want all of them plus the accessories it's going to practically double the cost of the phone.
Hi Ash, can you please suggest a budget phone which has a good loudspeaker? I am getting it for my father and he needs a good loudspeaker to watch RUclips video's.
Would have been cool if the knob was an input. Or even if it was a fidget toy. Can't say it's really that innovative. They just left some exposed screw holes. Well, it's good to have options.
For me this one is a mess for sure I would love to see Samsung Corby like back panels just swap and replace that's it with no screws etc moreover spending on accessories doesn't make any sense
No one, I mean no one, will be able to convince me that this thing is a better deal than an S21 Plus / S22 Plus (2nd hand) or Pixel 7 in North America, or a Poco F3 in the rest of the world 🌏 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️
We will have replaceable battery soon anyway with the new EU law, so I find this 2 in 1 case + back of the phone a great idea, I hope other will follow. Other than that meh, I'm also too old for this sh*t.
And then it would have cost more the whole point is of CMF is to be cheaper but still good. personally for me would have made a could second phone but it does not have NFC
There is no NFC, it's a phone for poor markets where people pay with QR codes like India or Asia in general. In Europe, it's just an interesting, but very primitive, cheap gimmick phone.
because its the 4th phone from the brand, we have complained enough about it... its the same reason why we dont complain about the lack of a headphone jack... because its been done enough
@@C4ETech Note: All the 4 mobiles are not the same price range 😂 how did you forget this point. don't compare with headphone Jack it's a complete different. Okay let's talk without 3.5jack we can use the mobile and listen to the songs through bluetooth ear or headphones. Nothing will change(if we purchase once). But what about the charger sir. If they listen or not but as a tech person you have to mention every time. That's your responsibility. I can understand if you mentioned they will not send you the Unboxing products right? 😆
lol I opened the video making fun of it, saying its a slim box cuz we know what... I mentioned enough negatives in the video... if you thing they arent gonna send me unboxing products cuz I mention no charger as a negative... I can only LOL - I didn't mention it more explicitly since I've done that for this brand enough.. thats my take! If you understand, you understand.. if you wanna think its because "hey will not send you the Unboxing products right? 😆" cool feel that way!
@@C4ETech me also LOL 😆. For your kind information I will give you one example. If someone (thief) does the things(theft) repeatedly will you be calm. Are you ready to say he is not listening. Again I am LOL 😆. As a human being we need to act or do something to stop him. I am not like you I will do till the end. Means looking for the final result.
@@paritoshhanspal6654 u have so many options ex ,samsung f15,a15 . 4yers os updates 5years security updates. Moto 86g maybe (1k extra ) moto give charger
Lot's of CMF videos. Watching Ash's video first 🔥😌
Me too
I remember Carl once saying that they do not do the 2MP stuff 😂
That "Ash out" with a snap and screen blackout was dope. 🔥
Thanks man!
I want a fucking Headphone Jack AND a removable battery -.-
Thanks for the vid!
Haaan😢

I'm convinced of one thing, many youtubers are surely shareholders of Nothing.

FWIW, I agreed to one term, not to post before the embargo date... the rest it just what I feel :)

Which is a best phone according to you under ₹16k? I wanna buy one.
Moti G64?

Bro is like the only honest reviewer left... criticising the brand even after getting the review unit.... salute 🫡🫡
My opinion on cmf phone 1:
Pros:
Good design
Good battery
Nice features
Clean UI
Good Screen (120hz Amoled)
Cons:
No Charger
No Headphone Jack
Single Speaker
2MP Crap sensor
No Ultrawide Sensor
No support for 1080p@60 in video!
No 4k video in front camera
No NFC support
In display fingerprint sensor

Nice unboxing and first impressions video as always Ash bro
I remember dude last time I watched your videos religiously it was 2014 and now that I have done acid I respect you more !
Ash always on top for me. This is the first CMF phone video I'm watching
35 bucks for the back plates is to the point where if you want all of them plus the accessories it's going to practically double the cost of the phone.
Just wait for a while for a 3D party company to drop cases or even a light glyph case 💀
Missed opportunity: Transparent back cover.
true, if its successful enough, I'm sure we'd get a 3rd party one
What's the point of a removable back cover when you can't replace the battery easily?
Bro what protection glass they you using? It looks like a good phone but definitely needs a full review video Ash!!!
First watching your video. Excellent videography Bro 😍👌
Thanks bro!
Damn..this phone is perfect for Sundar. Hence a lot of "screwing" can be done on with this thing xD .
Ayoo 🗿💀
2:16 us bro 😂😭
I can compromise on camera for the price, but monospeaker and lack of nfc is a deal breaker for me.
Hey can you tell where do you use NFC as I have yet to find its use in Real World
Well you can use it to pay online ofc ( Google pay is the most i heard people use ) but if you don't own a credit card then it's useless feature
Good job 👍👍👍
Hi Ash, can you please suggest a budget phone which has a good loudspeaker?
I am getting it for my father and he needs a good loudspeaker to watch RUclips video's.
Looks too plasticky to me. Specially around the camera bump, looks like a toy. Love the tshirt BTW.
Dave, MKBHD and .... C4ETech ... only 3 CMFP1 videos in my WL
Would have been cool if the knob was an input. Or even if it was a fidget toy.
Can't say it's really that innovative. They just left some exposed screw holes.
Well, it's good to have options.
It reminds me of OnePlus One with removable back panels. But it's plastic though 😅
OG C4ETech is backk!!!
Does the Lanyard, Kickstand and Wallet comes in different colors apart from the ones which came in the box?
#30 people squad ❤
For me this one is a mess for sure I would love to see Samsung Corby like back panels just swap and replace that's it with no screws etc moreover spending on accessories doesn't make any sense
it reminds me of Samsung corby i used to have
This is my next cellphone 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Surprised to realise now that u didn't cover S24 Ultra?
Review buds 2 pro
Wtf he has been active on YT again..❤
I had no idea
:D
Good !
Don't know why no 256gb variant
No NFC is a huge letdown.
No one, I mean no one, will be able to convince me that this thing is a better deal than an S21 Plus / S22 Plus (2nd hand) or Pixel 7 in North America, or a Poco F3 in the rest of the world 🌏
🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️
What is the game Ash is playing??
They name company nothing but include all the non practical things in a phone.
Watch pro 2 please
Why is Ash stuck with 1.81 M subs for so long?
There is no 256gb variant
Dude got orange case seperately rest of the indians couldn't
Sick of these large boxy phones. Wish for once we would get a reasonable size phone under 25k with 6.1 inch display
CMF P1 (or Nothing P1 in general) = Nokia 3220 with better specs and tech
❤❤❤
at least they could've stopped copying iphone
❤
Here's a comment for the precious algo.
What theeeeeee
Waste right
We will have replaceable battery soon anyway with the new EU law, so I find this 2 in 1 case + back of the phone a great idea, I hope other will follow.
Other than that meh, I'm also too old for this sh*t.
1500 for a back cover? No charger in box?
Ghanta affordable hai CMF 👿
Looks nice should had snapdragon
And then it would have cost more the whole point is of CMF is to be cheaper but still good. personally for me would have made a could second phone but it does not have NFC
Kermit crab phone
There is no NFC, it's a phone for poor markets where people pay with QR codes like India or Asia in general. In Europe, it's just an interesting, but very primitive, cheap gimmick phone.
It reminds me LEGO😅
6/128 GB - really 2024?!?
Not just for phone calls, or is it?!?
So you want 256 in that price?
Bhikari thode Paisa kharch le...
Why didn't you mentioned charger is mandatory?
It's a minimum responsibility as a tech wiser for everyone. But you are not act like that way.
because its the 4th phone from the brand, we have complained enough about it... its the same reason why we dont complain about the lack of a headphone jack... because its been done enough
