We Tried The First CMF Phone 1 From Nothing!! 

Me: changing my back cover at 200 Nothing: change your back panel at 1500

About charging problem...I think nothing phones only supports pd charging. I used a 33w charger and a 20w pd, the pd charger is faster.

After 2-3 years you will see some legends using this phone without that back panel!😅

3rd party back case manufacturers are gonna have a field day with this one 😂😂😂 ₹1499 case for JUST ₹199 (atleast in offline probably)

What’s controversial? This phone just launched today! Clickbait?

Instant like for calling Nothing out on the hypocracy points right in the intro

Waiting for those CMF covers to be copied by Chinese manufacturers.😂😂😂

This is so true about the charging issue. I wouldn't exactly call it a problem, but I think the developers have capped the voltage to maintain the temperature at minimum levels. As a Phone (2) user who uses the official Nothing charger, I've never seen it charge above 20-25W. However, there are no issues since the phone charges in the time

What's even the point of removable back panel? "Nothing, just look"

swappable battery with portable charge kinda like buds one would have been gamer changer.

Nothing has deviated from its path,it is focusing on quantity rather than quality.

No Charger- No Buy.

This time , they did their honest review and appreciated the TechWiser team

Last week my friend and I was in a lodge for a night and shared a room. He owns nothing phone 1 and he charged his phone with my charger, samsung 25 w. Surprisingly it works better than his own charger. People who are buying new nothing phone can give a try with their friends' samsung 25w charger and bought that. And tech youtuber can do an experiment with this combination.

4:38 Yes, this is normal with all phones to lower the wattage as the battery reaches a higher percentage of charge. This is to protect the battery. If you want to measure the wattage, try starting from a low charge like say 10% or even better if when it's completely depleated. If that doesn't work, then it's probably compatibility issues with your measurement device and your phone. I did a deep dive on the Nothing Phone 2(a)'s charging system and I can confirm that it charges at full 45W sfrom 10% to 35% and the wattage slowly drops after.

About the charging issue in Nothing phones, I use Nothing Phone (2a) and I have noticed that when I plug the phone to the official CMF GaN charger it never goes beyond 15 watts but after 5-10 secs when I unplug the charger and plug it again it bumps up the wattage b/w 20-30 watts and all of this is when the temperature of the phone is around 35-40 degree celsius. So. I thought that what if I put the phone in freezer for sometime and then check the charging wattage and when I plugged the charger when phone's temp. was 4-5 degree celsius then it started to charge b/w 35-45 watts, it's full wattage. So, the reason your Nothing Phone isn't charging at full wattage is the temperature so phones restricts the wattage below 30 degree celsius to protect the battery from heat. There's nothing wrong with the phone or the charger.

"Controversial" only for cheap chinese fanboys. For most sensible people this is the best budget phone on the market.

CMF needs 1-2 updates to fix their photo optimization.. given that it comes with IMX 882 (from what i've seen in another video) it should have a better output

Waited to buy cmf but now disappointed

Will not buy any phone which doesn't comes with the charger.... 😂😂

3:12 Base variant has 6 GB ram not 8GB ram

CMF Phone 1 vs nothing phone 2a detailed comparison needed

This CMF phone 1 is a hidden gem! The Dimensity 7300 is a powerhouse, and the camera takes amazing shots. Definitely worth checking out.

CMF Phone (1) vs IQOO Z9 vs Poco X6 vs Oneplus Nord CE 3 vs Realme Narzo 70 pro

I love pratik when brands don't sponsor them.... You can see how honest he is.

Kudos to tech wiser team for this informative video especially the end. I hope Nothing take it as a constructive feedback and do not blacklist them, as they do on twitter !

2:18 exactly my point

every good brand lets their phone charge at a lower wattage than claimed in the spec sheet to preserver battery health and since the claims made for the battery charging times are accurate, there is no need for the phone to charge at a higher wattage and degrade the battery life. My phone 1 charges in 1 hr from 0 to 100 and it still holds almost the same amount of charge despite being nearly 2 years old. Chinese brands let their phone charge at a higher wattage which degrades the battery life.

CMF - Customise My Fone 💀💯

Noone talks about water and dust resistance……..

3:11 Bruh the base varient is 6/128 not 8/128 😅❤

The cmf phone with mediatek processor is an entry level beast! Works so smooth that u wont even know that its a budget phone

Sponserwiser didn't get sponsor i think 😂😂😂, accept it this the best of this segment

I don't completely agree, adding 2-3 thousand in the budget will not get a phone a lot better and adding accessories will bring the premium feel in the budget category and if it picks off, other 3rd party accessories will be available for cheaper. This new design is something different that I think was much needed, as there is nothing like this other than magsafe in apple.

One thing to appreciate about this brand is they are doing something different from other phone companies.

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)

they'll surely launch a transparent back plate soon.

Looks better than iphone color dubba 😂

I love the design of this one more than nothing 2a, although my friend has 2a and it works just too goof in terms of performance. but i like the back panel of this one more for the plainness, and the dimensity 7300 should work fine for the rest of the tasks

Easier to pull out for thieves aswell

Not worthy not satisfied CMF of phone

Why's the audio of prateek is weird, mids and bass frequencies are weird. idk if it's the edit or the mic.

I have been using Nothing phone 2 since the day it was released and only recently I got to know that the "Nothing" does not work properly with the "PD" standard but works with a "PPS" standard which is commonly used by older Samsung galaxy lineup

This is clearly a bad phone, these are gimmicks but Indian market is very competitive

For me: no headphone jack, no deal.

As an iPhone guy forever, this is the first Android phone I‘m interested in. Can‘t wait to get it.

Basically phone to confuse people with accessories gimmick

Hey you are great youtubeer I watched all your videos , your explaing is so amazing, you are a genuine guy🤟

If the battery was removable, it would have compensated for the slower processor.

People react to price as they could buy SD8Gen1 at 15k😂😂😂😂 and They set back case priced at 999 which is fair enough, and yes stand at 799 bit high,

Underwhelming - they lost a huge opportunity by not giving removable battery, they sacrificed IP rating to give a gimmick but not the actual feature. - the software update is not up to the mark even Motorola gives better - the hardware is underwhelming compared to completion. They only have a integrated cover gimmick which they will remove or heavily change in Gen2. So good luck investigating in the ecosystem.

I'm using the Phone 2A, happy with the experience, Clean UI, Good software, good optimization Decent gaming as well, inconsistent cameras but manages to take some good pictures

Can you do a comparison video between cmf phone 1 and nothing phone 2a... both are budget phones of the same brand

So, we are still not ready to bring back the good old "replaceable battery" technology? Who needs these gimmicks anyway?

Have they launched a phone or accessories??

I really never notice the charging time. I like it when its slow cz i charge overnight. 25-30W is max i expect for emergency.

The only thing which is disappointing, the 2MP depth camera, in earlier launches Carl Pei said that they never use any fake 2MP cameras in there smartphone and now they we're using the same.

They should’ve given 256gb variant too

At one time we used to have 1 camera in phone then technology upgraded and we got evolution from 1 to 2 then 3 and then 4 camers in phone(budget range) every camera has different function and now from 4 to 3 we lost macro camera then 2 camera main and ultrawide and now in budget range we are loosing ultrawide also...... Are we upgrading or degrading for budget range price ???

I bet if this video was sponsored, you would praise the device.

I wish they got the internals prettier so that they could release a transparent case. In that case it would be totally worth it. Now however third party cover makers or basically anyone with a decent 3D printer will take over.

Nothing is probably the most Gimmicky Phone Company

Where to buy this dabba?!

Nothing phone should make the word "Gimmick" as their moto.

Hi I really appreciate your detailed reviews on various smartphone features like cameras, performance, and battery life. However, one important aspect that often gets overlooked is network reception. Given how crucial reliable connectivity is for daily use, it would be incredibly helpful if you could include a comparison of network reception among different segment phones in your reviews. Testing signal strength in various environments (urban, rural, indoors, and outdoors) could provide valuable insights for your audience. Thank you for considering this!

If you are thinking of buying a CMF phone have a look at this CMF Phone 1 compromises: ❌No OIS ❌Mono speaker ❌6 GB RAM in base variant ❌No 256 GB storage option ❌No ultrawide ❌No charger in the box At this point, screw the rotating dial, the replaceable back panels and the design with the four screws. Just give us a generic design but different colors, don't spend so much on unnecessary design R&D and use the saved money on better specifications keeping NothingOS as the selling point. That'll give a better phone.

camon 30 or cmf 1 which is better for rear camera(for more detail & sharp still pictures)? please answer brother, i'm from🇧🇩

The back case changing thing is just like Nokia Lumia this concept is not new and very similar

Which is better btw cmf and samsung m34 with respect to camera, performance.

i've used the nothing phone 2a and if dimensity 7200 pro is anything to go by, I'm optimistic about the dimensity 7300. CMF has done an amazing job, design wise.

Gyan therapy destroyed the phone before its launch

Atleast they are trying to do something fun with smartphones again, I remember when phones were fun nowadays its just how big numbers we can add. So yeah something fun I am all up for it.

5:31 I guess you’ve pointed the wrong camera as the 50MP one.

So CMF puts 3 cases in 3 separate packets, but not including charger in the same box will save environment.?

The host's voice feels heavy and bassy. I like the regular voice on other videos. Just a fan.

In customer buying unit " in box " only 1. phone 2.C to C cable 3.ejector 4. Information paper Thats all ! No charger ! Back case ? ???? Charger costs just 1600 rs..... 😂😂😂

Trakin tech says 6GB 128GB is base variant you say 8GB 128GB

What about scratch on back camera with passage of time

Nothing or cmf whatever has gone mad...their condition will be like google pixel. If they continue like this

name's "wiser", but confused over everything.

It's a nothing phone 📱 I repeat it's nothing 😂

Hi Pratik!🖐 Can you please make a video on the processors these smartphone companies use? Like Qualcomm Snapdragon, Mediatek, Exynos, Tensor G series, Apple A series SoC. If there are any other then, those too. I am much concerned about the performance, cooling chambers, heating problems, how the cores work, how the clocking works. I know the nomenclature with the chipsets are mind boggling nowadays. So, I am not asking for that. Phew! Phew!! Phew!!!

No NFC, so can't do mobile payments, which is a big no no living here in London.

0:18 - They never said anything about dual camera or anything, and it does it work by improving the photo Prateek you made the video without the Price info it's Around 15K ~ 17K if you include charger cost - in this price segment with DM 7300(4nm) is good for lite gaming and battery life, AMOLED Display same as CE4 lite (cost 20K) , Camera sensor same as Nord 4(~23K), it has okayish cut of spec for this segment and with that design, and you can't forget clean OS without any Data poaching and Ads. It's not a destroyer of this segment but an all-rounder phone.

I feel like this is the only indian tech channel that really gives an unbiased review

SD card supporting, Type c charger, 1 E Sim 5G, normal sim 5G, Minimum Rugged design, Good display Like(Amoled), with high RF 120 hz rate, 45000 mah to 6000 mah (removable)Li-ion Battery, Good Processor - like snapdragon 8gen 2, 2 Air Trigger. 5.5 to 6 inch display size, Price 40000 to 60000.

cmf phone 1 is a deal breaker as it has not only mono speakers but no headphone jack not to mention the phone is bulky

I feel youtubers are heavily paid by other brands to down play the Nothing CMF brand. They are doing a good job and make the market more interesting. We must support such brands.

Can open and change the back cover but no way to change the battery! Feels like I can change my clothes as much as I want but I can't change my underwear because it is glued to my skin.

Apart from the fact that it looks a bit different this phone is a total marketing gimmick. What is the use of the back being removable if we cannot remove the battery lol. And the audacity to not provide a charger in the box is arrogance at its peak by Carl Pie. Its time we consumers teach him a lesson for just pushing out gimmicky phones with over marketing.

Great video as always. Excellent work! From UK.

Removable back panel without removable battery!??? (Atleast usung a couple of screws??) Whyyyy!?

loved the honesty

The phone is not controversial, the reviewers is.

Nothing numerical series are premium and would cost at 40-50k mark A series under 30k CMF series under 25k going forward, the same OnePlus strategy

the most practicle review I saw.

20k is a budget phone bro is so out of touch with reality

Finally not an ad video

It's base varient is going to be launched at 16000 without bank offers

SD card supporting. Type c charger, 1 E Sim 5G, normal sim 5G, Minimum Rugged design, Good display Like(Amoled), with high RF 120 hz rate 45000 mah to 6000 mah (removable)Li-ion Battery, Good Processor - like snapdragon 8gen 2, 2 Air Trigger. 5.5 to 6 inch display size, Price 40000 to 60000.
