CMF Phone 1 Screen Replacement Vienna – from 89 €
The CMF Phone 1 is the first device from Nothing's sub-brand CMF — budget positioning, a modular back cover with swappable covers and a distinctive twist knob on the back that lets you clip on a lanyard or card holder. Despite the low price the screen is AMOLED — which means a repair pays off quickly. Reparo replaces the 6.67-inch AMOLED 120 Hz panel in Vienna – fixed price 89 €, 6 months warranty. Pickup service in Vienna or send-in from anywhere in Austria.

Typical screen defects on the CMF Phone 1
These signs clearly point to a screen replacement — not to a software diagnostic.
Visible crack in the front glass
A visible crack running from a corner across the image or a concentric impact point. The touch may still work, but glass breakage gets worse with every day.
Black or coloured spots
Spots on the AMOLED panel — usually black, sometimes green or pink. The OLED substrate is damaged at these points. A panel replacement is the only lasting solution.
Vertical stripes on the display
Green, pink or white lines running vertically or horizontally across the screen. This means a connection break or driver defect in the panel — a replacement fixes it completely.
Touch unresponsive in spots
Certain areas of the 6.67-inch panel can no longer be operated. Keyboard keys are refused, scrolling only works partially — a clear sign of a damaged touch layer.
Device flickers or goes black
The display periodically goes black, flickers when switched on or stays off — even though the device is on (vibration, ringtone). In 95 percent of cases the panel is defective.
Image turns milky or brightly washed out
After a drop or pressure event the screen looks milky or brightly lit in parts — a typical sign of damage to the backlight layer. Only a panel replacement helps here.
How the CMF Phone 1 screen replacement works
Clearly structured — from pickup to finished return shipping.
Book an appointment or call
You tell us which symptom your CMF Phone 1 shows. We confirm the fixed price of 89 € before the repair.
Pickup Vienna or send-in
In Vienna our pickup service comes to your home or office. From anywhere in Austria you send the device by mail to our address in Vienna 1020.
Loosen front glass and remove panel
The defective 6.67-inch screen is loosened from the frame with heat and a suction cup. The flex connections are carefully detached — the Glyph Interface in the back stays untouched.
Fit and bond the new panel
The new AMOLED 120 Hz panel is fitted, the flex connections secured and the front glass freshly bonded. Seals are renewed.
Full test and return
We test brightness, touch, Glyph Interface and all sensors. The device then goes back to you with 6 months warranty.
Replace the CMF Phone 1 screen — is it worth it?
| Option | Price | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Screen replacement at Reparo | 89 € | Data stays, 2024 device remains current |
| Used CMF Phone 1 | from 180 € | Uncertain history, no warranty reset |
| New CMF Phone 1 or successor | from 329 € | Data transfer needed, no Glyph setup carried over |
A screen replacement for 89 € is significantly cheaper than buying new — and you keep your set-up CMF Phone 1 with its Glyph profile, data and apps.
Which display does Reparo fit in the CMF Phone 1?
We fit exclusively AMOLED 120 Hz panels with identical resolution and brightness to the original. The 6.67-inch format is matched exactly, including the touch layer and refresh rate.
Nothing OS checks the panel hardware when the device starts — after the replacement the system recognises the new display and adjusts the brightness calibration automatically.
For the CMF Phone 1 (release 2024) panels are available through authorised suppliers. Delivery time is normally 1 to 3 working days.
Getting the CMF Phone 1 screen repaired — background
The CMF Phone 1 relies on AMOLED 120 Hz as its panel technology. With a 6.67-inch diagonal the screen is the central cost factor of the device — if it fails, a repair almost always pays off against buying new. Especially for devices younger than three years.
Why not just glue or cover it up?
Films and screen protectors help against scratches, but not against cracked AMOLED layers. Once the panel itself is damaged, software repairs no longer help. A complete panel replacement is the only lasting solution.
Glyph Interface during the screen replacement
The Glyph Interface of the CMF Phone 1 sits on the back (modular back cover with twist knob and swappable covers) and has no direct connection to the display. During the front glass replacement the LED unit stays untouched — even so, we check all Glyph patterns after installation for safety.
Data protection during the repair
Your CMF Phone 1 stays in our workshop the whole time. We do not access pictures, messages or settings. After the work the device is exactly as you handed it in — only with a working display.
Frequently asked questions — CMF Phone 1 screen replacement
The CMF Phone 1 has a modular back cover — does that simplify the screen replacement?
Only to a limited extent. The modular back cover helps with battery access, but the screen replacement is done from the front like on any other smartphone — front glass is loosened, panel swapped, freshly bonded. The modular covers stay untouched.
The CMF Phone 1 is a budget device — is the repair worth it at a 229 euro retail price?
Yes, in most cases. A screen replacement for 89 euro against a 229 euro retail price is around 39 percent of the new value — a reasonable ratio, especially if the device is only a few months old.
Does the CMF twist knob stay functional after the repair?
Yes. The twist knob is mechanically connected to the back cover — it is not touched during the screen replacement. Swappable covers can still be changed after the repair.
What exactly does a CMF Phone 1 screen replacement cost?
89 € fixed price. Includes panel, front glass, touch unit, Glyph test and 6 months warranty. The diagnostic (25 €) is waived when you order the repair.
How long does the CMF Phone 1 screen repair take?
About 2 to 3 hours in the workshop for the actual swap plus adhesive curing. With the pickup service in Vienna on the same or next working day — for a send-in from Austria 1 to 3 working days including return shipping.
Will I lose my data during the screen replacement?
No. A screen replacement touches neither storage nor operating system. Apps, photos, contacts and Glyph profiles are fully preserved.
Can I drop off my CMF Phone 1 in person?
Reparo has no walk-in. In Vienna we pick up your device — directly at your home or office. From anywhere in Austria you send it by mail to our workshop in Vienna 1020.
Is there a warranty on the new display?
Yes, 6 months warranty on the panel and installation. If technical problems with the fitted display occur within this period, we replace it free of charge.
Does Reparo fit original or aftermarket displays?
We use displays that are identical to the original in resolution, brightness and colour reproduction. Through authorised suppliers we source panels that reach the same quality standard as the factory-fitted original.
What does the diagnostic cost if it is unclear whether the display is defective?
25 € — this amount is waived when the repair is ordered with us. We check the panel, touch response, sensors and Glyph connection and tell you specifically whether a replacement is needed.
How does the pickup service in Vienna work?
After booking we arrange a pickup window. We come to you, take the device, repair it and deliver it back — ideally on the same day.
How do I send my CMF Phone 1 in from Austria?
Pack it well, ideally in a padded box, and send it to our address in Vienna 1020. After arrival we get in touch with price and schedule. Return shipping happens directly after the repair.
Is the repair worth it on an older CMF Phone 1?
Yes. The screen replacement for 89 € is cheaper than any used or new purchase. You keep your device with all data and the set-up Nothing OS — no transfer necessary.
What if a problem occurs after the repair?
For problems within the 6-month warranty period you get the follow-up swap free of charge. Just get in touch by phone or email and we pick up the device again.
Does the fingerprint sensor still work after the replacement?
Yes. The under-display fingerprint sensor is correctly calibrated during the swap. If the scanner reacts differently after the replacement, re-register your fingerprints in the Nothing OS settings — then it works as usual.
