• A video went viral after a user managed to access the CMF Phone 1s depth camera, discovering they could use it to see through certain objects.
• The co-founder of Nothing, Akis Evangelidis, has now responded to the video to explain whats happening.
• Evangelidis says that they will restrict third-party apps from accessing the depth sensors output within a week.‚

The CMF Phone 1 just launched and it has been getting a fair amount of praise for being a fun and affordable Android handset. Although it has only been days since it has been out, users have already discovered something a bit shocking about the device. It appears that the depth sensor can be used to see through certain objects.

To make CMF by Nothings first phone as affordable as it is, the company made some compromises. One of those compromises is the rear camera setup which includes a 50MP main camera and an undisclosed depth sensor instead of a proper secondary camera. CMF has made it so that this depth sensor cant be accessed by normal means. However, one crafty user managed to find a workaround to gain access to it.
