The CMF Phone 1 is priced at ₹15,999 but has all the features an average smartphone user looks for.

DESIGN AND BUILD QUALITY

Nothing is the new IKEA, especially when the talk is about design. Earlier, the company brought a transparent smartphone, and now, its sub-brand has brought a smartphone with a removable back panel. The back panel of the CMF Phone 1 also features a rotary dial, which can be removed by rotating 4-5 times, and you can attach a lanyard to it for easy carrying (best for senior citizens) or a small stand for comfortable content viewing. The device is IP52-rated water and dust-resistant, meaning it can survive water splashes and dust particles.

DISPLAY

The CMF Phone 1 boasts a sleek design with a flat 6.67-inch AMOLED display encased in a thin plastic frame. The display is clear and sharp, though its slightly warmer tone may make the colours seem less vibrant. Despite this, it's perfect for everyday use, social media, and watching movies. The 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth and fluid navigation. The screen has Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, which is rare for a smartphone under 20k. For media enthusiasts, the phone supports HDR10+, enhancing colour differentiation and adding depth to your viewing experience.
