In terms of design, the CMF Phone 1 features a punch-hole notch and prominent bezels, giving it the appearance of a mid-range phone from the front. However, the rear of the phone is what truly sets it apart. The CMF Phone 1 boasts two unique design elements: removable back covers and accessory attachments.
The phone includes removable screws that allow the back cover to be taken off. This feature enables users to swap back covers, offering a range of colour options such as black, blue, light green, and orange. This approach not only lets users personalize their phone's look according to their style but also makes it easy to replace a worn-out back cover.
Additionally, the CMF Phone 1 supports various attachments. Official promotional images show that users can attach accessories like a kickstand, strap, power bank, or wallet to the back of the phone.
Furthermore, the smartphone will come in four distinctive colour variants: Black, Orange, Light Green, and Blue. The Black and Light Green models will boast a textured casing, while the Blue and Orange variants will feature a vegan leather finish.
