0:12 in his mind : MK IS BACK

[@rheffner3]

Cool phone. My current phone is a 2 year olf Redmi Note 11. Cost about 200 euros. Does it do everything that an expensive phone does. Well, yeah. Everything. And as tech continues to move forward, I got to think that the days of spending over $1,000 are pretty much over.

[@Joshpods]

I have the same phone and I still think the redmi note 11 is better because it has an ultra wide camera, a headphone jack and a charger in the box.

[@NikhilSingh-007]

Apt assessment.

[@strohmy9863]

tbf you never had to spend more than like 300€ to get a decent Android phone

@@strohmy9863 True. Most I ever paid was 250. Actually just got a used Nothing Phone (1) for 200.

They are not going out of their way to make it interesting, they are exactly doing what makes THEM more money. This stupid phone is designed to charge you a premium for a rubber case, you could get from AliExpress for ANY phone.

[@user-ec4nf8xe8c]

ngl the lanyard pops. dress it down with orange lanyard like old school wallet-on-keychain. if they came out with black leather or rose gold fine chain, could dress it up with a waistcoat for a modern take on pocket watch. the XAI80T move is bringing the heat to us mark my words

This not having a removable battery absolutely ruins the whole purpose of removing the back plate.

Price increased to 240 which makes it a lot less appealing. For 200 dollars it was best in class. For like 250 there are other options.

A cool and innovative phone at last!! The flagship segment is so boring, so this is nice and refreshing to see. I remember LG had snap on/snap off accessories for one of their handset a few years ago including a camera accessory with physical buttons and larger battery. This a the budget segment version of that and i can see myself getting one.

[@kalleguld]

Love it, but lack of NFC is a showstopper.

[@FuturePortal911]

Maybe there will be nfc backplates)

[@SinghSama]

I believe this phone is targeted towards India mostly and NFC isn't used here for payments. Just need a camera to scan QR codes for UPI which is widely used here for payments.

[@Ram-4798]

They are targeting indian Market where people use UPI and not NFC.

[@farguc]

No removable battery is a huge mis-step. I would buy a phone like this as my hiking phone if I could just buy few extra batteries instead of bulky powerbank. Absolutely love everything else about it. Reminds me of the old days of Nokia 3310, buying different covers for it. Good times.

[@RizwanMujawar]

Removable battery has its benefits, environmental especially as with time battery ages and instead of replacing battery we end of buying a new phone. But having a removable battery will reduce its efficiency and it will last way less. I think having a big 20,000 mah or heck even a larger 50K or 100K with you makes more sense for hiking. You can charge a laptop or even lights or other emergency equipment. Why do you want to buy multiple batteries to a phone! That doesn’t make sense to me. Carrying a bigger power bank is always advisable.

[@Fernando-ek8jp]

I mean sure, if you have a safe place to put multiple loose lithium ion batteries when you're out hiking in a way that's somehow less bulky than a power bank.

[@TacticalCoffeeDrinker-tn7ks]

Oui but mate. Like 15000mah same size and weight as the Nokia 3310. Prolly could charge your phone like four times over mate.

[@Psop-mq8si]

Get the Fairphone 5, you can swap both the back cover and the battery and you don't even need the screwdriver...

[@Fernando-ek8jp]

@@Psop-mq8si and is over 3 times as expensive. The whole point of a "hiking phone", at least from my understanding, would be to have a cheaper, more "disposable" phone in case something happens to it that would also allow for battery swaps. A 700 euro phone with a replaceable battery that you'd still need protective storage for doesn't really scream "dedicated hiking phone".

[@HotPaniPuri]

People complaining about NFC needs to know that most of Indian online payments doesn't need NFC. Most of the payments are done through UPI which sufficiently makesup for NFC. Even in weak network areas, you can do payments through SMS. So good decision by CMF

[@luke_angelo]

Bro, there are more countries than India. No NFC is a big deal in 2024

[@HotPaniPuri]

@@luke_angelo bro, CMF phone 1 major customer target is India. Marques said it himself. So yeah, it's a good decision.

[@Urudak12]

​@@luke_angelo That is true and while the phone is on sale in other countries it is made with the Indian market in mind so I don't think the exclusion of NFC is all that big of a deal, it would have been a good thing if they included that as well but majority of their target customers will not use NFC anyways so it's not a deal breaker for them in any capacity.
