If you’re looking at phones in the Black Friday sales, you’re probably on the hunt for a bargain.
But amongst the Samsung Galaxy deals and Google Pixel deals, there’s one major discount that you might’ve missed.
It’s the CMF Phone 1, the Nothing sub-brand’s first-ever handset, and the best budget phone you can buy right now. It wasn’t exactly expensive to begin with, starting at just £209 in the UK, but Amazon’s Black Friday deal means it’s now available for just £169.90.
That’s a 19% discount, and the lowest price it’s ever been. It also applies to all three colours – Black, Light Green and Orange.
In the US, the only discount is a $20 saving on the more expensive 256GB model, which drops from $289 to $269. Just make sure you click the on-site coupon to secure the discount.
However, this is actually the first discount we’ve seen on the phone in the US, so it’s the cheapest ever here too. And unlike Prime Day, you don’t need to be an Amazon Prime member to benefit, though it will get you fast delivery at no extra cost.
Either way, the phone is extraordinarily good value. In our full CMF Phone 1 review, we described it as “exactly what the budget market was missing”. A truly unique design includes an interchangeable plastic back and removable ‘Accessory Point’.

Other highlights include Nothing’s slick and highly customisable take on Android, strong performance and a great range of fun accessories.
It’s not perfect, with cameras a clear shortcoming, but this is a standout phone in more ways than one. There’s a reason it sits top of our best budget phones guide.
