Verdict

The CMF Phone 1 is competitively priced in India, making it a compelling choice for those who enjoy experimenting with smartphone aesthetics. In addition to interesting design features, the handset offers reliable performance and a clean user interface. The phone`s battery is optimised to last a full day, depending on your usage, and delivers a decent viewing experience too. The handset would have been an easy recommendation if it had not been for the cameras and slow charging.

    Pros

  • Interesting design
  • Customisability
  • Impressive performance
  • Clean UI

    Cons

  • Sub-par IP rating
  • Charging speeds could have been better
Design and display +

Despite missing out on its parent brand's signature Glyph Interface, the CMF Phone 1 features a unique and creative design. Though not entirely new, the design deserves recognition. The CMF Phone 1 comes with interchangeable back panels, reminiscent of the first-gen Moto G-series. Unlike Motorola's offering, however, the back panel of the CMF Phone 1 is firmly secured with screws, a SIM ejector tray, and a rotating wheel screw. Located in the bottom right corner, the wheel can be removed to access a screw hole for attaching accessories like a kickstand for vertical or horizontal viewing, a card holder, or a lanyard. These accessories are sold separately for Rs 799 each. The panels, priced at Rs 1,499 each, come in three shades: Orange, Light Green, and Blue. Notably, the Blue and Orange panels have a vegan leather finish at the back and are 1mm thicker than the regular panels. The company could launch more such accessories in the future. Moreover, third-party brands could also launch their accessories that fit into the same screw hole.

The CMF Phone 1 boasts a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 50MP primary sensor and a portrait sensor with an f/1.8 aperture lens. For selfies and video calling, the phone is equipped with a 16MP shooter in the punch-hole setup. This is a standard camera setup expected from the smartphones within the segment, with a few exceptions such as the Redmi Note 13, which includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens. Be that as it may, the CMF Phone 1 impresses with its camera performance in well-lit environments. However, the post-processing time to output the end result could be frustratingly long.

Performance and software +

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 handles the performance bit for the CMF Phone 1. It is a new mid-range chipset with a 4nm manufacturing process and octa-cores clocked at up to 2.5GHz. This is complemented by 6GB RAM + 128GB UFS 2.2 storage and 8GB RAM + 128GB UFS 2.2 storage configurations. The RAM is expandable virtually up to 16GB, and the storage can be increased up to 2TB using a compatible microSD card. The handset posts decent scores on synthetic benchmark tests, but it couldn't beat the Dimensity 7200's AnTuTu and Geekbench's single-core test numbers on the iQOO Z9.

Battery and charging +

The CMF Phone 1 comes with a 5,000mAh battery, slightly smaller than the recently launched OnePlus Nord CE4 Lite. However, it seems to be better optimised than its counterpart. In our standard 30-minute YouTube video streaming test, the CMF Phone 1 consumed only 3 percent of its battery life, equivalent to approximately 150mAh. In contrast, the OnePlus smartphone's battery life decreased by 165mAh.
