The main purpose of this phone is it's extra customisable, Affordable, Very Unique yet they offer no accessories nor Adapter on the box ur not even getting that ScrewXSim ejector tool that they used on the ads basically u might be paying over 20k for phone they promised in that price it's very average

[@TechAgama]

D7300 is not a rebranded D7050. D7300 has a different core configuration, GPU and it is manufactured on a smaller 4nm node.

[@90AlmostFamous]

i have watched few benchmarks and performance videos and cmf 1 is beating iQOO Z9 with its more powerful 7200. I guess Indian audience doesnt care. I mean they care enough to say 7300 is less powerful than 7200 but not enough to say that cmf 1 is better optimized than iqoo z9 xD

[@calivervase7302]

Build quality: decent Software : really good Performance: good Display: really good Camera : decent Major cons: mono speaker, no charger in box, no earphone jack, water resistant rating is quite weak Overall for anyone with a casual mindset can use it. If your specific about somethinf like photography or gaming, you might have to choose some other phone.
