The CMF Phone 1 is a great phone. When it launched in Nepal, the price was quite high compared to India, but even then, due to the lack of good competition, the CMF Phone 1 was a solid purchase.<\/p>\n
Now, after the price drop, the CMF Phone 1 is even more appealing.<\/p>\n
The two other phones in Nepal under Rs. 35,000 are the Redmi Note 13 Pro<\/a> and the Narzo 70 Pro<\/a>, but the performance of the CMF Phone 1 is better than both.<\/p>\n However, if you can stretch your budget a little more, the OnePlus Nord CE 3<\/a> is currently available at a great price. OnePlus recently reduced the price from Rs. 53,999 to just Rs. 36,999. At this price, it\u2019s currently the best phone available, though the only concern is that it will only receive updates up to Android 15.<\/p>\n But if you prefer the interchangeable back design of the CMF Phone 1 and want to experience Nothing OS, you should definitely go for the CMF Phone 1, which will receive updates up to Android 16.<\/p>\n But again, to mention its drawbacks, it lacks an ultrawide camera, has a mono speaker, and the quality of the back panel may not feel premium. Also, it’s a shame that CMF Phone 1 accessories are still not available in Nepal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nothing is a master at hype. When’s the last time you were so excited for a budget, or say, a mid-range phone? That too for Nothing’s, a relatively new brand’s cheapest phone.<\/p>\n Nothing strategically teased the CMF Phone 1 bit by bit before its launch on July 8, 2024, and on the same day, it was also announced in Nepal by CG Mobile, Nothing’s official distributor in the country.<\/p>\n One reason the phone generated such excitement among tech enthusiasts is its unique design. You can open up the back panel, swap it, and add accessories \u2014 something you can’t do with your run-of-the-mill smartphones.<\/p>\n For those unfamiliar with the brand, Nothing is a company founded by OnePlus<\/a> Co-founder Carl Pei<\/a>. Nothing products are really interesting because of its signature transparent design<\/a>.<\/p>\n CMF is Nothing’s sub-brand company and the CMF Phone 1<\/a> is its first phone. The CMF Phone 1 launched in Nepal at Rs. 36,999 for the 8\/128GB storage and Rs. 41,499 for the 8\/256GB storage. However, a month after its launch in August 2024, CMF Phone 1 received a massive price drop of Rs. 5,000.<\/p>\nPros<\/strong><\/h4>\n
