The CMF Phone (1) is expected to have a simple plastic back and will be available in four colours: black, green, blue, and an exclusive orange. This design aims to be affordable while offering a variety of choices for consumers.

Pricing and Launch Date (Expected)

The CMF Phone (1) is rumoured to be priced at Rs. 12,000, making it a competitive option for budget-conscious buyers. It is projected to launch in July, which could make it an appealing choice during the mid-year sales season.

It is expected to feature a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, similar to the 6.7-inch AMOLED display of the Phone (2a).

The device is likely to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 SoC, which suggests it will perform similarly to the Phone (2a). It is expected to offer 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Additionally, it will have the option to expand memory via a MicroSD card.
