CMF by Nothing announces CMF Phone 1 launch date plus Buds Pro 2 and Watch Pro 2

London-based technology brand Nothing’s sub-brand, CMF, is set to unveil its maiden smartphone, Phone 1, next month. Earlier, Nothing announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it will host its Community Update event on July 8 at 10 AM BST (2:30 PM IST). The event will coincide with other introductions along with the smartphone, including the second-generation CMF Buds Pro and Watch Pro. 

According to speculations, CMF’s Phone 1 is likely to be priced cheaper than Nothing’s Phone 2a, launched earlier this year. The design theme of the smartphone might be a bit altered and is expected to be powered by a slightly lower-end processor compared to the Nothing Phone 2a.

In the initial image released by the company, the device is poised to don a peppy orange colour theme, akin to other products by Nothing like CMF buds, a GAN charger, among others. It may also feature a vegan leather panel that fits within the plastic frame. Also, a circular dial can be seen in the image, which looks like the fidget dial previously used with the CMF buds.
