Today we durability test and take apart the new CMF Phone 1. A new budget device from the company Nothing. The CMF Phone 1 has user replaceable backs and a few accessories that can be screwed into the rear frame. So if you want to change the color of your phone on a moments notice - you can. However - thats where the modular ability stops. None of the internal components can be swapped out. The battery replacement and parts replacements still need to be 'done by a professional'.

    A modular phone with replaceable parts that they refuse sell to you, oof.
  • @user-bp8yg3ko1r
    Removable back cover and no user removable battery is such an awful decision.

    6:35 Who needs coffee when you have Zack forgetting to test something? I'm not going to sleep anytime soon now.

    Very happy and surprised that they at least included a micro SD card slot. Though a removals and replaceable battery would have been nice too! What a missed opportunity.

    Only nothing could make a phone with a removable back cover and a non removable battery.
  • @xiinite9
    I really do wonder if it would have been that much more expensive to make the battery replaceable. That would have been an actual statement that would resonate throughout the industry.

    so Taking a backcover off means MODULAR? damn My Nokia 6600 is the best of a MODULAR phone lol

    Just bought some ear buds from CMF a few weeks ago, they were on sale for like $26 and I needed some cheap replacements for using around the house and out in the garden. So far I'm impressed, they have good battery and range and don't sound like garbage. Excited to see more budget and mid range phones, plenty of room for smaller companies to come in and undercut existing brands.

    Everything is modular with the right tools.

    Strange Parts did a video on how a Chinese manufacturer makes aftermarket LiPo batteries for iPhones about 4 years back incase Nothing does nothing and doesn't allow you to tour their battery plant, like they totally should.
  • @marsrover001
    I love how you were on their marketing bulletproof video and then proceed to shoot holes in the product in yours.
