Nothing’s sub-brand CMF has recently unveiled its latest lineup of affordable and stylish tech gadgets, solidifying its reputation as the IKEA of the tech world. The Phone 1, Buds Pro 2, and Watch Pro 2 are the newest additions to the CMF family, offering fun designs at temptingly low price points.
Starting with the Phone 1, priced at $199, this device packs a lot of features for its cost. Boasting a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, running on Android 14 and Nothing OS, and equipped with a 50MP main camera along with a 16MP selfie camera, the Phone 1 seems like a strong contender in the budget phone market. Additionally, it features a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, 5,000mAh battery, 128GB storage, and IP52 water resistance.
One of the standout features of the CMF Phone 1 is its removable back cover, allowing users to customize the look of their device by swapping out various covers. The Phone 1 is available for pre-order in black, orange, or light green and is expected to start shipping on July 12.
Moving on to the Watch Pro 2, priced at $69, this smartwatch promises essential features like heart-rate tracking, sleep monitoring, stress tracking, and SpO2 monitoring. With GPS tracking and an impressive 11-day battery life, the Watch Pro 2 offers great value for its price. It also introduces interchangeable bezels and a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with auto-brightness, addressing some of the issues faced by its predecessor.
Finally, the Buds Pro 2, priced at $59, present an upgraded Active Noise Cancelation feature, improved sound quality, and a new case with an integrated dial for convenient control. With ChatGPT integration, similar to the Nothing Ear (1), users can connect to the AI assistant on their CMF or Nothing phone. The Buds Pro 2 are available in several color options and are set to ship on July 12.
Despite the affordable price tags of these products, previous reviews on CMF gadgets have highlighted some connectivity issues and basic feature sets. However, with the brand’s commitment to fun designs and budget-friendly offerings, the CMF Phone 1, Watch Pro 2, and Buds Pro 2 are likely to attract consumers looking for stylish tech without breaking the bank.
