Nothing Phone (2) launch eminent in 2023, Know what Carl Pei has to say about it

Nothing Phone (2) will be launched in 2023 and it will be the successor of Nothing Phone (1). Carl Pei, CEO and founder, Nothing has announced the launch in the latest interaction with Inverse. The biggest information about the Nothing Phone (2) that Carl Pei revealed is that the US will be No. 1 priority in term of markets

“When you make a smartphone for the U.S. you need to work with the carriers on certification and adapting some of their features into your OS,” Pei says. “We didn’t have the resources for that before and now we do,” said Carl to Inverse.

“We’re really excited about the U.S. market because it’s a big country. If you look at our earbuds sales, about one-third comes from the U.S. And by not launching our phone in the U.S., we’re leaving potentially a third of the volume on the table,” added the founder.

Carl Pei has termed the Nothing Phone (2) as more premium as compared to the Nothing Phone (1). However, he did not call the Phone (2) as the flagship device as it would mean that the Phone (1) was not a flagship. Even though the hardware of the Nothing Phone (2) will be quite noteworthy, the software of the smartphone will be something that the company will be stressing more.

The Nothing Phone (1) is a great success and continues to be one of the favourite Android smartphone in the mid-range.
