Which should you buy?
The Edge 50 Ultra edges ahead on the Mars Score (61.4 vs 67), but the 5.6-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the CMF Phone 1 if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery capacity.
Pick the Edge 50 Ultra if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are wired charging, front camera, antutu, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, weight, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
