CMF Phone 1 Gaming Review: Modular Customization & Dimensity 7300 under ₹15,000

The CMF Phone 1 disrupted the entry-level market with its swappable plastic backplates and accessory mount point. But what caught our attention was the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset—typically found in phones costing ₹22,000—packed into a sub-₹15,000 device.
