The camera department might see a single rear sensor, potentially catering to basic photography needs. The phone is also rumoured to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 5G chipset, enabling access to next-generation cellular networks.

Software-wise, the CMF Phone (1) might come pre-installed with a limited version of Nothing OS.

While full access to all features may not be available, the phone could benefit from 3 years of OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates.

Additionally, the CMF Phone (1) is expected to pack a 5000mAh battery, potentially offering a full day's worth of usage on a single charge. The phone might also support 33W fast charging for quicker power replenishment.
