Expert Overview
CMF Phone (3) takes modularity to the next level. You can unscrew the back panel and swap it for a wallet holder, a kickstand, or even a basic E-Ink display back (sold separately). 'The Dial 3.0' is now a clickable smart button. Powered by the Dimensity 7300 Pro, it offers smooth performance with Nothing's clean, ad-free software. It's the most fun phone under 20k.
