The CMF Phone starts at ₹15,999 (₹14,999 with bank discount). What do you guys think of the price? 🤯
Also, one correction: The UFS version is 2.2 not 2.1.
First these back panel will cost from 700 or more , for a 15000 rupees phone I don't think that something great because even for flagship Phone people think before buying cover that are more then 700 rupees.
Second, having a removable back will never make it cheaper to repair if you know indian repair market.
Third this phone is promoting cheap plastic as game changer 😂😂😂
@@ritiksharma3537appreciate the innovation. Don't get jealous!
@@ritiksharma3537 i personally perfer plastic as it doesn't break as easily as glass. Using cracked glass back on my phone right now 😥
@@ritiksharma3537it's basically 4.5% of the phone's cost.
Better prie to get nothing os experience, but i hate that useless portrait camera, instead of giving to rashmika, they should came with ultrawide camera
More Beebom-ish than Beebom itself
Rupesh was beebom, beebom was rupesh
There's no beebom without rupesh
@@aaryan9990Do you know why he left?
What happenedm
Same same but different 😅
As per him he wanted to create his own Channel from a long time and it was the right time@@showhan9880
I was surprised to see Prateek Tyagi (TheEveryDayIndia) in this video! I know he has helped beebom in its initial phase, but it's really good to see him back with Rupesh.
PS - He was an amazing moto vlogger in Delhi NCR back in 2015. It's been a long time and I still miss his videos.
Prateek if you see this comment, please leave a like.
Thanks! I really hope you start making moto vlogs again.
Going great guys! Love your content.
Wait what?
A transparent back cover would be nice
That's a thing of nothing but after market 3rd party brands can make it tho
And back cover with 5k powerbank would be more nice
Thinking parallel universes ahead@@hareshladumor6134
also a metal back.
@@raghavsharma4265 that'll be great ,a perfect Stainless steel stylish finsihed back panel would look cool
If cmf commits for long term software update and service support (so things like battery can be replaced after few years) im totally in for this phone.
This is fantastic. If I damage my back cover over the period of time i can just buy a new one and swap it and boom new phone again. This concept can work in India finally somthing new in the industry... Lack of higher ip rating sucks but i can live with that.
Finally a sensible person I saw so many comments people just hating this phone 😂 and saying Chinese phones are better than this
This phone is excellent for my use case. If I was in the market for a phone in this price segment, this phone would be my first choice.
@@thisisme616 it has removable cover but no the battery. Yep. Just hating for nothing. So much price wasted for gimmicks
@@thisisme616Yes Chinese phones are better smartphones than this
Dickride harder Carl pei ain't shagging you
3 year is and security support.
Our moms after attaching that lanyard onto cmf phone 1 - NEW WEAPON UNLOCKED ! 🤣🤣
carl pei thinks he can sell cmf phone 1 different color panels worth 1500rs but.....
some guys from india would just make the exact copy of that back panel and sell it for just 200-400rs only
Pretty sure he knows about that and probably secretly wants 3rd parties to Create more accessories for the phone
I think what he thinks is he can sell a normal phone budget by giving a new stylish feature (functional in some cases) for which accessories will be created by 3rd parties. All hype, win for him..
Its his first budget segment phone , but i think when he launches more and more phones in 10k to 15 k segment he will get the whole market, for the brands first launch i think its a decent phone
Even after using the Phone (2) for a year now. This CMF PHONE 1 actually looks more desirable and more fun than mine 😅
i'm using phone1 and i have the same feelings
you wont like it after the performance.
@@coolingchips1410 that's for sure. But may be I'll buy it for my mom. She would just scroll CZcams and change back covers.
@@coolingchips1410 As long as it will receive and make calls, do some texts and click some portraits. that's enough for a human without gaming addiction.
I just bought a Phone (2a) and I feel the same way! 😅
I remember that Lumia phones used to offer these swapped backcovers, but without those screws
You remember 😂 Nokia too
This phone will be loved by college and school going ppl like me. Really cool stuff in budget. I hope it gets success so that more phones like this releases in future
Loved by college going people? This ain’t the 90s where funky things attracted eyeballs
@@shubhamupadhyay844 More like vibrant and not funky lol. Both design and budget make it appealing to students.
@@llaxus9279 maybe for kids, not in college. No college going person will like this phone, it looks like a toy more than a phone. Who tf cares about funky vibrant phone?? If you want to grab eyeballs, atleast in college, use a foldable or flip phone, you will attract eyeballs.
@@llaxus9279 which college going person likes a funky vibrant phone?? Kids I agree because this phone looks like a toy. Atleast in my college, the students are attracted to foldables and flip phones instead of lame vibrant phones
@@llaxus9279 which college going person likes a funky vibrant phone?? Kids I agree because this phone looks like a toy. Atleast in my college, the students are attracted to foldables and flip phones instead of lame vibrant phones
I hope this becomes a trend and the idea doesn't just drop dead.
The 16K price is a launch offer. After initial the price will be 20k.
Companies should stop these shady tactics to get better reviews
Why bro ?that’s their strategy.
@@indisagarkiran8557 it's not strategy, it's a way to deceive people.
Here they're judging the phone at the price of 16k and saying it's good.
The same phone at 20k a month later would be a horrible buy, but the company already got their positive review they needed from the reviewer,
@@indisagarkiran8557well that's a shitty strategy
@@whydoineedname4932 yes you're right,as customers we don't like such strategies,but that's how companies make people buy things.
@@indisagarkiran8557 it's shady cause they make all this hype in the name of 16k price tag
SillyCorn and Beebom posting the same video at a time.. my subscription feed... Clicking on SillyCorn video thinking watching beebom with my favourite creator ❤🎉
14 years ago I have Sony Ericsson W8 with 2 back cover without any screw 🪛 or anything. Black and red. I change easily anytime
Man, I just come back to your videos everytime for your video quality.... Just so underrated and so beautiful so elegant
Just like a wow!
@@SillycornsMedia exactly 😂😂😂😂
Good work man.... Really like your videos...
I love that in every frame the phone is somewhat customised i.e.every frame of the video has a new look
3.5mm jack and I would have bought it in a blink😔
They omitted the head phone jack because they wanted to sell their matching wireless earbuds. Profits were put before customer choice.
@@ninjanerdstudent6937 absolutely
Bro nowadays usb c type Wired earphones are available in all price segments. From 250rs ambrane to 1500rs jbl. So I don't think not giving earphone jack is an issue unless you have a very costly 3.5mm Wired Earphone that you can't use in this phone.
@@brnracc I know about usb c headphones but charging and headphones on the same port somewhat becames a issue
If they had a removable battery then it would have been a game changer.
I was actually missing this guy, great to see you back in action. you're living the dream.
Greatest line ever existed "You can use the phone Naked , not u the phone 😂"
😂
bringing uniqueness to the budget segment
Thank you for playing In the end music video in the phone. Brought out the nostalgia feeling :)
Does anyone know where to get that f1 car shown jn the video 7:12 ?
Yours the first review im watching
I really love how your videos use the full screen estate when I switch to fullscreen
Brings back the memories of Samsung Corby which also had colourful changeable back panels.
Yeah, I remember! I had the Corby 2. The phone had a white cover and a black backplate. I used to swap between them once a while to keep things fresh. Such were the days.
@@kmstar2230Seems like those are back, to an extent.
cant wait for buds 2 review i am hyped about it
Man the 3rd party accessories Market for this phone is going to be wild like the old days😂
I subscribed beebom at 200k just because of this guy's unboxing talent
My phone cover laughing in corner 😂
How you got the phone before it launches?
Cmf is the only company keeping the tech space interesting even for budget products
Very vibrant color indeed 🔴
Did you just roasted entire Beebom with that Screwdriver dialogue 🧐🧐
I really wanted that Dial thingy in the corner to be integrated with the software. But this looks cool too
Image it is working as camera zoom in zoom out or usable rotating button while gaming like we use in middle mouse scroll button to change weapons.
Its just like the good old Nokia Asha 501 series which provided swapable colourfull back cases. They also had one limited edition yellow colour mirror finish case.
Hey, love your videos, they're really helpful and fun to watch. I was wondering about the video you made about Lava Agni 2 5g mentioning its goods and bads... Surprisingly that phone is now available at 16,999/- so would it be a wise choice to consider that phone sometime now or during Amazon Great Indian Sale?
the best part of cmf phone is Carl has shared 3d printable design of back cover and screw openly, which can trigger a wave of new unimaginable accessories. I would love how companies would come up with innovative ideas
Imagine a slim bluetooth speaker which you can attach it to that knob thing
Does the cmf watch pro 2 have WearOS?
camon 30 or cmf 1
which is better for rear camera(for more detail & sharp still pictures)?
please answer brother, i'm from🇧🇩
always good to see Pratik in the video
Love the design and customization options. Love your Nothing based content.
Sony ericsson did this cover swapping in smartphone's childhood days itself. Still I have those covers. A beautiful glazing black and an orange. I loved those colours so still keeping it even after a decade. 😍😍
12k for 4gen 2 and ₹600 for the back panel could be awesome
"Okayish" is the new Bad. Got it Rupesh 😏
Glad a brand tried something new and unique... Otherwise you will find every boring similar looking phones out there... I don't know about others but I m definitely gonna try CMF phone 1... Support to nothing. Hope they bring more products with better specifications in better pricing. ❤
Which one is better in camera realme p1 or this phone?
Does everyone will get those back panels and all inluded with the phone tho?
Just a question … I was watching an other review … and the reviewer got a bundle where everything is there with buds and a watch … where can I get than offer and what is the price
This is definitely a go to phone for the price! It's almost a must for those on a budget.
Promotion of oracle is compulsory in every video 😅
Lewis wins Silverstone 🎉
Waiting for that CMF Watch review as well
It's live now.
Which app for the cpu throttle test?
That orange and black is dope 😍
Orange ❎
Bhagwa ✅
😅
I would love to see metallic back cover for it..
Excited about the people who has 3d printer they can do many possibilities and earn money❤
Hi, amazon prime is comimg up. I am looking for a mobile in the range 30k to 50k. My priorities are performance (want a flagship level performance)., it should be snappy... And the best camera.. And a good user experience... also I am looking at 256G variant... How's iqoo 12.. Can you please help
Bro try doing a strength test with that lanyard. LOL! What if a thief tries to pickpocket it while on the road. 😅
how much does the different covers cost?
Does it support call recoding without announcement
Sir oneplus nord ce 3 or cmf phone 1 mai sai kon sa jada better hai in case of camera, ui & os, processor, and casual gaming test and all that which one is better under 20k between only these two phones
My 2012 iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 had 4 back covers in the box!!! 😊
subscribed !
Same to same
2014 mein Micromax Canvas2Color karke ek model mein hota tha back change
The only review channel I watch these days - *sillycorns(with the soul of beebom)* 💛
This is something very useful and handy for everyday use.
That wallet is so helpful and don't want to worried about getting detached. It's screwed.
I really love the new innovative ideas CMF brings into smartphone.
This phone's features is all good for the price! I just wish it had stereo speakers. Btw, I love your reviews!
CMF Phone 1 easily a steal deal. They've nailed it ❤💯
If it has 6.1 inch screen and 4500 battery it would be a great compact phone😊
How to buy CMF 33w charger link ? Saparatly
Good pricing and it brings back the nostalgia of removable back panels 😊
Great song placement at 11:11. Jharee Lip gloss
Which song?
Which song?
What about the other sensors such as compass for maps?
8:46 How Did you Got That Pitch Black Theme .. i am Phone 2a User … Already Supscriber ❤
I would love to see a premium iteration of this l. A more compact size would be a cherry on top.
I would love a transparent case on this phone
Top of the feed ❤
The fundamental flaw with nothing phones is that a good looking back can never compensate for an ugly looking front. The amount of R&D and resources they spent on making the back and its accessories, if they had spent on reducing the bezels and making them even and on a better CPU, they could've made a way more beautiful and appealing phone.
Good phone for parents as well since no bloatware and no lag.
It costs around 22k let me tell you how
1. 4 colour cases 750 each equals 3k.
2. Stand equals 750.
3. Charger equals 2k
4. Other accessories equals 500 (tempered and back cover).
10:52 where do I get the redbull formula?
Nice. I must say they inspired from symphony soap which came with 5 coloured back covers
You got blue eyes, one blew this way one blew that way
Rupeshbhai,
Pl ur verdict no CMF phone 1 or Moto Edge 50 fusion?? Which one to buy?
Very different price segments. The Edge 50 Fusion is a more complete phone with more features. The CMF Phone 1 is more fun at a lower price.
@@SillycornsMedia so in terms of 2a or moto edge 50 fusion which one to buy. Pl suggest I want clean ui and no gaming..budget up to 25k?
@@KP-fv6qw get edge fusion
Forget about the phone i want to know which smartwatch are you wearing rupesh?
Is this good for senior citizens where the major usage is watching CZcams videos or WhatsApp calls?
Nothing takes the concept of the Legendary 'Samsung Corby' 😂😂
Great Video
I'm pretty sure there will be a 3rd party back cover made using other than polycarbonate..maybe in some future we will see a metal or aluminium back cover for this phone..makes it feels premium..
I know I don't want to buy this phone but still I watch the review
carl pei thinking he can sell back panel worth 1500rs
2:22 Bro just said "Something better than Nothing" 😅
Top of my list for phone to replace my aging a52 4G... Love the dark blue color.
I love the innovation that's good. Some other brands would do something different than normal.
Thanks rupesh I bought vivo t3 enjoying a lot I used to use redmi. Only small concern is there is no gorilla glass.
Thanks for your review.
A phone that doesn't come with a 3.5mm jack, isn't a phone for a gamer looking for a mid range phone. And solely here, nothing has lost it's biggest probable market.
What happens when I lose the back screws?
Get a new back 😅
People find many problems or missing things with this phone but we should appreciate how Nothing is trying to do something new with boring phones & on this budget, it is really a challenge, especially for a new company. Nothing should Launch a metal body cover as an accessory, so guys appreciate it, CMF might give a removable battery option for phone 2, the reason might be size, removable batteries are thicker which is a problem for the whole phone and accessory design.
What about the number of 5G bands?
Those Screws seems unnecessary.... We have had swappable back covers in the past without any screws
I did that on regular basis with my nokia lumia 520 without the screws :P
