CMF Phone 1 Gaming Review: Modular Customization & Dimensity 7300 under ₹15,000
Nothing's budget CMF Phone 1 brought modular screw-on accessories and Dimensity 7300 to ₹15,000. Is it the best entry-level gaming phone in India?
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.
1. Gaming Benchmark: Punching Above Its Weight
In BGMI, the CMF Phone 1 runs Smooth + Ultra (60 FPS) with remarkably low thermals. The plastic back cover actually works to its advantage: unlike glass, plastic conducts heat more slowly to the user's palms, making 2-hour sessions significantly more comfortable.
