After debuting with headphones and other accessories last year, Nothing’s sub-brand “CMF” is preparing to launch its first phone.
In a post on Twitter/X, Nothing confirmed that it will launch “CMF Phone 1” soon. There’s no set release date, but rumors about the device have been floating around for a few months now.
In the post, there’s a teaser image of the device that shows a faux leather design, CMF’s signature bright orange color, and a physical dial of some sort. There’s no word on what that dial may do, but Nothing says the device as a whole will be “wonderful by design.”
More than likely, given CMF’s focus, this will be a mid-range smartphone at best, probably based on Phone (2a).
