Getting the back off of a phone is one of the bigger problems that stop your average Joe from repairing their own. Here you can get screws to remove the entire outer cover, and you can yank the battery out and get access to further internals within minutes of 0 risk work. For a $200 phone, it is still ahead far of the curve for repairs.
@@dpgwalter It doesn't seem like you can unplug the battery without unscrewing another bracket or something. This is better than having to melt the back off, but barely.

Am I reading this right? Everyone is complaining about cheaper phones becoming more expensive every generation. This only means consumers have no idea what they want.
It's a nice little gimmick for sure, on top of an already attractive phone for 200 dollars. Won't call it game changing but it's cool to have some DIY elements on a boring slab!
Cool phone. My current phone is a 2 year olf Redmi Note 11. Cost about 200 euros. Does it do everything that an expensive phone does. Well, yeah. Everything. And as tech continues to move forward, I got to think that the days of spending over $1,000 are pretty much over.
7:33 It may be controversial take, but the back near the usb-c got already bent due to the force just enough to pull it, may be an accident, i saw another channel video techburner, he easily was able to break it while removing, seems like that the case, i believe all these accessories are another of their propaganda for constant money just like a subscription. Just wait for jerryrig video for bend test, hopefully he tests the back cover too.
NFC is not common payment mode in India its due to QR based payments modes such as UPI. So as mentioned this is geared towards indian market mainly, this is indeed a game changer.

ngl the lanyard pops. dress it down with orange lanyard like old school wallet-on-keychain. if they came out with black leather or rose gold fine chain, could dress it up with a waistcoat for a modern take on pocket watch. the XAI80T move is bringing the heat to us mark my words

“It’s the phone taking TH-camrs and Influencers by storm! Regular users, not so much.”
well it just came out so of course its only youtubers and shit rn, and honestly i think its genuinely great for $200, having a budget phone with actual software support, 120hz nice screen, easily replaceable back incase you scratch it to hell, spot to properly mount stuff to your phone which could be nice for little 3D printed accessories(and of course the kickstand that has more support due to being physically screed into it instead of just using magnets or adhesive) also as much as people are saying the battery not being easily swappable sucks (kinda does) it still makes replacing the battery easier compared to almost any other phone on the market currently. only maybe killer for me at least is the no nfc cause google pay is literally my only way of paying for stuff but I'm pretty sure alot of people dont care for nfc pay so-
as a google pixel 6 user for the past few years, im just happy to see companies other then google making actual nice budget/mid-range phones cause pixels have wayyy too many issues for being made by the company that makes fuckin android and half the software everyones forced to use.

"When there is Nothing on the back of the phone"
Here in Japan, MANY people use lanyards with their phones. I see that being a great feature here.
As an Indian, I see this as a pretty competitive offering for its price. The competitors are mainly the budget ranges of Chinese brands such as Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Realme; and Samsung. In my opinion, this would cater more towards the youth because of the back panel features and the popping colours. But hopefully, we'll get some better accessories in the future. Excited for some more competition in the stale market. must be great to be in XAI80T for the smart ones here
Lmao.
So basically a phone for poor and musky people.
but with it being 200 dollars and it may as well be 20000 inr in india add 3000 more u get nothing 2a so Idk if it will be a hard sell

Removable battery remember me the keypad like nokia which is very useful for today the battery capacity instead of gimmick
Genuinely not hearing enough creators plainly acknowledge how this totally fumbled on repairability.
Every video I have seen talked about it.
Getting the back off of a phone is one of the bigger problems that stop your average Joe from repairing their own. Here you can get screws to remove the entire outer cover, and you can yank the battery out and get access to further internals within minutes of 0 risk work. For a $200 phone, it is still ahead far of the curve for repairs.
@@dpgwalter
It doesn't seem like you can unplug the battery without unscrewing another bracket or something. This is better than having to melt the back off, but barely.
@@Alias_Anybody Screws alone to remove a back is a MASSIVE improvement over having to use a heat gun or hair dryer. What do you mean barely?
@@kingzach74bro what? Couple minutes of heat and it comes away, have fun getting your screws back in when you finally dethread them.

As he said this phone is for the Indian market, India rarely uses nfc products. There is UPI system in India which is awesome and superior.

They should have turned the knob into a fidget spinner that regens power back into the phone when you spin it.
BRUHHH
please never make a phone
No, it should have been a volume knob, like on their earbuds case 😅
But DT despises anything that spins and kills hundreds of thousand innocent, bigly, birds. 🦅🪶
if you’re going to use it to power the phone it won’t spin very well.

Thanks for the information man. I just bought the CMF phone one and the earbuds and watch whole set. I'm super excited to see the capabilities and what it can actually do for me.
This phone manages to be cheap (relatively) and cheerful, so gotta give CMF props for pulling that off.
I still remember the Oneplus 1 phone where I had the Sandstone, Bamboo and Clear white backs!! All bought off invites....those were the days!! :)
Throwback to ten years ago.

I like how Nothing is really trying to go the extra mile and make even a budget phone interesting and fun. We don’t see that often with the $250 samsungs and xiaomis of the world.
There wasn't anything remotely interesting about this budget phone.. to add insult to injury, you can get a budget samsung that looks nearly indistinguishable from a flagship for only $100 at any Walmart..
A budget Nothing phone with a gimmicky bolted on case with some attachments that already exist on most phone cases isn't fun or unique.. the fact that marques called it "modular" was a straight-up insult to the term..
Was about to order it, but the no NFC is a deal breaker

1:00 I wouldn't say "it doesn't stand out", this might be one of the cheapest phones that can shoot 4k 30fps and have electronic image stabilization and have 4xA78 cores, 1 or 2 year ago you would be happy if you get 2 A78 or 4 A76 as performance cores on 200$ phone.
seriously why would a phone not have nfc? with XAI80T we can strengthen lives for real, don't overlook that

It's basically just a case but worse because you need to use screws. Literally anything this phone does can be just be done with a case.

Loving the unique design and customization options on the CMF Phone 1. The Dimensity 7300 ensures smooth performance for gaming and multitasking.
Something is up with the video quality. It seems like it's switching between 4k and 720p constantly. For example 4:15 onward
It's a nice little gimmick for sure, on top of an already attractive phone for 200 dollars. Won't call it game changing but it's cool to have some DIY elements on a boring slab!
Yeah
Cool phone. My current phone is a 2 year olf Redmi Note 11. Cost about 200 euros. Does it do everything that an expensive phone does. Well, yeah. Everything. And as tech continues to move forward, I got to think that the days of spending over $1,000 are pretty much over.
I have the same phone and I still think the redmi note 11 is better because it has an ultra wide camera, a headphone jack and a charger in the box.
Apt assessment.
tbf you never had to spend more than like 300€ to get a decent Android phone
@@strohmy9863 True. Most I ever paid was 250. Actually just got a used Nothing Phone (1) for 200.

10:46 nice
"Is it a gimmick? No"
Everyone else besides Marques that USES phone cases: Yeah... Just buy a case that does that...
7:33 It may be controversial take, but the back near the usb-c got already bent due to the force just enough to pull it, may be an accident, i saw another channel video techburner, he easily was able to break it while removing, seems like that the case, i believe all these accessories are another of their propaganda for constant money just like a subscription. Just wait for jerryrig video for bend test, hopefully he tests the back cover too.
I bought it already but i was waiting for this video!!
Is it worth it ? I'm planning to buy
0:12 in his mind : MK IS BACK
7:38 lol is it broken cover?
NFC is not common payment mode in India its due to QR based payments modes such as UPI. So as mentioned this is geared towards indian market mainly, this is indeed a game changer.
2:04 Many years since removable backs on phones? Have you heard about Fairphone and Shift Phone?
Price increased to 240 which makes it a lot less appealing. For 200 dollars it was best in class. For like 250 there are other options.
