CMF phone 1 will be my top pick

I am not sure on this. This was not the required for the person who wanted the phone so I didn't bother checking this feature. Sorry.

Likely no, but check reviews to get a confirmation. Some youtuber will have mentioned it, Beebom or TechWiser or Geekyranjit or C4ETech to name a few.
