CMF’s first-ever phone could be customizable with an add-on dial and stand

Today’s teaser seems to confirm that the phone’s disc will work in at least a similar way to the disc on the CMF Buds to hold accessories and can be detached and swapped out for optional accessories, including a lanyard holder and a foldable stand.

Will it offer additional functionality? None of the hints were vague, but the dial on display is reminiscent of the smart dial on the CMF Pro Neck Strap Headphones, which are used to control volume, playback, and active noise cancellation.

Previously, the CMF account shared photos of the back that Reveal easily accessible screws And a small screwdriver It matches the brand’s aesthetics. The hints strongly suggested that the device would have an easily removable back panel, which seems to be confirmed today in job It includes images of the same painting in black, blue, light green and orange.

It’s not known if other companies are making replacement back panels, but looking closely, it looks like the device could address the panels by adding either a larger battery — similar to the Mophie Juice Pack or Motorola phones that supported “Moto Mods” a few years ago — or a wallet to hold credit cards and ID.

It’s also not revealed whether removing the back panel will provide easier access to the CMF Phone 1’s internal components, including the battery, but the feature may focus more on customizing looks and functionality rather than improving repairability.

In addition to announcing the CMF Phone 1 on July 8 at 5 a.m. ET, the brand will also unveil the CMF Buds Pro 2 and Watch Pro 2 at a “Community Update” event.
