In a new disassembly video, YouTuber PBKreviews walks viewers through every step of the procedure, awarding the CMF Phone 1 an overall repairability score of merely 6.5/10. Although these are significantly better than the subpar outcomes we’ve seen for Google Pixel and Samsung phones, they’re still difficult for typical do-it-yourselfers and don’t exactly validate Nothing’s claim that the phone is incredibly customizable.

First off, removing any anti-tamper stickers from this CMF phone further than the rear panel would void your warranty. It’s clear that the purpose of the hidden screw and other locations requiring pry tools to access is to discourage do-it-yourself maintenance.

PBKreviews expressly advises against doing this since it voids the warranty. The battery is hidden under a thin layer of protection that needs to be peeled out.

It is then necessary to remove the twelve Phillips screws, each of which has a tamper sticker. The stickers highlight the phone’s subpar repairability and act as an additional means of nullifying the warranty. The antennae and lens of the camera are located in the upper portion of the rear cover.

Once inside, removing the battery isn’t too tough, but it’s made harder than it has to be because of the strong adhesive used. In contrast, replacing the screen necessitates practically complete disassembly of the phone.

Moreover, compared to other phones, it is more difficult to remove the plastic covers from the motherboard and speaker assembly. They will also nullify the customer’s warranty and increase the difficulty of third-party repairs.
