CMF Phone (1) Release Date Confirmed; Arrives in July

After a whole lot of anticipation and teasing, the CMF Phone (1) by Nothing has received an official release date. The Nothing sub-brand has scheduled the CMF Phone (1) launch forJuly 8, which is next month. Word is that it will launch as a more affordable version of the budget-centric Nothing Phone 2a (review).

CMF being CMF, they sent us this minicapsule, which looks similar to the Nothing Ear (stick), and it contained the Phone (1)’s release date printed on a piece of paper with the brand’s orange-themed lettering.

In addition, CMF also packed a little something special for us in the capsule – theCMFPhone 1’s SIM ejector tool. The ejector tool also doubles as a mini screwdriver with a flathead, which is the real mystery here. Well, not for tech enthusiasts like us.

From the looks of it, this screwdriver will allow users to take apart the bolt at the smartphone’s back panel that the brand had teased not too long ago!
