Between the CMF Phone 1 and Phone (2), the CMF Phone 1 comes out ahead in battery capacity and weight, while the Phone (2) wins on antutu and front camera. Overall, the CMF Phone 1 scores 61.4 and the Phone (2) scores 64.5 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Phone (2) edges ahead on the Mars Score (61.4 vs 64.5), but the 3.1-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, weight, pixel density.
Pick the Phone (2) if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are antutu, front camera, ram, among others.
Both ship with comparable main camera, refresh rate, 5g support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
