Nothing, the innovative company known for its unique smartphone designs, is set to introduce its latest creation — the CMF Phone (1). This new phone, a part of the brand’s affordable CMF sub-brand, is creating excitement with its “reveal” campaign. Each day, a notable influencer adds components to the device until the full design is unveiled. Today marks day eight of the campaign, revealing the backplate and complete design of the phone.

Key features of the CMF Phone (1) include:

– A rotating dial on the back, similar to the aluminum alloy dial on the CMF Buds, designed for attaching accessories like a lanyard or folding kickstand.
– Speculation that the dial may offer control over volume, playback, and other settings based on similarities with other Nothing products.

One standout feature of the phone is its easily removable rear panel, available in black, blue, light green, and orange colors. Users can effortlessly swap out panels using accessible screws and a small screwdriver included with the phone. This feature allows for customization options such as changing the phone’s appearance or potentially adding functionalities like a larger battery or card wallet.

While it remains uncertain if other companies will create alternate rear panels for this device, there are possibilities for expanding its capabilities through add-ons. However, Nothing has yet to confirm whether removing the rear panel will grant access to internal components like the battery. It seems that this feature focuses more on aesthetic customization and added functionality rather than repairability enhancements.

In addition to introducing the CMF Phone (1), Nothing will also reveal new additions to its lineup at an upcoming event on July 8th at 5AM ET. The event will showcase the CMF Buds Pro 2 and Watch Pro 2, demonstrating Nothing’s dedication to offering cutting-edge and cost-effective tech solutions for consumers.
