Which should you buy?
The ThinkPhone edges ahead on the Mars Score (61.4 vs 64.6), but the 3.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the CMF Phone 1 if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are screen size.
Pick the ThinkPhone if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. Its strongest claims are antutu, wired charging, front camera, among others.
