If you’re looking at phones during the Black Friday sale, you’re probably looking for a bargain.
But between the Samsung Galaxy deals and Google Pixel deals, there’s one big discount you might have missed.
It’s the CMF Phone 1, the very first device from the Nothing sub-brand and the best budget phone you can buy right now. It wasn’t exactly expensive to start 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 ever. It also applies to all three colors: black, light green and orange.
In the US, the only discount is a $20 savings on the more expensive 256GB model, which drops from $289 to $269. Make sure you click on the coupon on the site to secure the discount.
However, this is actually the first discount we’ve seen on the phone in the US, so again it’s the cheapest ever. And unlike Prime Day, you don’t have to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of it, although you do get fast delivery at no extra cost.
Either way, the phone is extremely good value for money. 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 the slick and highly customizable version of Nothing on Android, strong performance, and a host of fun accessories.
It’s not perfect, cameras are an obvious shortcoming, but this is a standout phone in more ways than one. There’s a reason it’s at the top of our best budget phones guide.
