The CMF Phone 1 is a mid-range smartphone packed full of modern features at an affordable price. It has a clean design, efficient performance, and solid battery life, making it a good option for budget-conscious buyers. Its Android v14 version is armed with some of the most capable processors, along with a high refresh rate display, and a seemingly capable dual camera system. And with fast-charging capabilities, it is designed to be at par with the connectivity needs of today’s users.
Display
The resolution is sharp and clear as 1080×2400 pixels on a 6.67-inch screen. A 120Hz refresh rate will add smoothness to scrolling and animations, much needed by gamers or multimedia-savvy folks. The punch-hole design gives this phone a modern look and a more expansive screen sensation. That size is perfectly alright for both content consumption and multitasking, and good enough for daily use.
Camera
The dual rear camera setup is in the form of 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor. The 50MP camera does a reasonable job only if the light is sufficient; it offers mediocre clarity and color accuracy. The 2MP depth camera supports the feature of depth sensing, and hence, the overall look of the pictures clicked gets an enhancement. On the front, CMF Phone 1 pairs up with a 16MP camera that offers good selfies and features like portrait mode along with beautification. The cameras can shoot in Full HD and that will be viable for taking those daily moments and casual photographs.
Performance and Storage
Under the hood, CMF Phone 1 runs on the Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chipset, which is an octa-core processor clocked at 2.5GHz. All this enables the device to function smoothly, whether in terms of application usage, game performance, or even multitasking. The variant is divided into two categories as well: 6GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 128GB storage. Suffice to say, this should occupy your apps, games, and also your media. The hybrid card slot also allows storage expansion up to 2TB, should you need it. The RAM and powerful processor make it quite reliable because it could accomplish daily tasks in real-time while hardly lagging.
Battery Life
The CMF Phone 1 is powered by a 5000mAh battery, thus ensuring that the device lasts long enough. Fast charging ensures fast recharging of the device, thus cutting downtime and getting users connected for a much longer time. From heavy usage to just moderate, battery life for all-day use is pretty good.
