CMF Phone 1 will be unveiled in India alongside the CMF Buds Pro 2 and CMF Watch Pro 2 on July 8. The company had previously teased some key features of the upcoming handset. The Nothing sub-brand also confirmed a few specifications of the smartphone. Now, CMF has revealed the complete design of the anticipated CMF Phone 1 and also announced the colour options it will be offered in. The handset is confirmed to come with a customisable back panel.

CMF Phone 1 design, colour options

The complete design of the CMF Phone 1 has been revealed by the company ahead of its launch. The phone appears with a pill-shaped dual rear camera unit placed in the top left corner. The camera island is a different colour than the rest of the panel. This shade is similar to that of the volume rocker, placed on the left edge, as well as that of the power button, appearing on the right side of the phone.

The CMF Phone 1 is also seen with a circular dial placed in the bottom left corner of the back panel. It is similar to the one found on the CMF Buds charging case. This appears to be modular and can be used as a lanyard or a kickstand holder, and even to personalise the phone using other accessories.

The company has confirmed in a press release that alongside attaching purposeful accessories, CMF Phone 1 users will be able to "swap cases for different colours or materials." CMF also confirmed that the handset will be offered in four colourways - Black, Blue, Light Green and Orange. The Blue and Orange variants will sport a vegan leather panel, while the Black and Light Green options are said to have a more subtle textured finish.
