Official: Nothing Phone (1) will not appear on the main global market

Yesterday, the auction for the sale of the first limit series Nothing Phone (1) started, with the help of which it became known about the

a limited number of countries where the device will be able to work properly.The world's largest market, the United States, was not included in the "white list," which caused alarm among American fans of the new brand.Now, Nothing has officially confirmed that it has no plans to release the Nothing Phone (1) in North America (including the US and Canada).Between the lines of the statement (below) it is clear that the company simply failed to negotiate with American telecom operators or afford to pay for their expensive certification.But the good news is that Nothing plans to launch a smartphone for the U.S. market in the future.It is quite possible that it will be the Nothing Phone (2).

Nothing statement:

"While we would like to bring the Phone (1) to the community around the world, we have focused on our home markets, including the UK and Europe, where we have strong partnerships with leading local carriers.As you probably know, launching a smartphone requires a lot, from getting it backed by the country's cellular technology to carrier partnerships and local regulation, and since we're still a young brand, we need to approach that strategically."

"We have big plans to launch a U.S.-supported smartphone in the future.At the moment, a limited number of our private investors from the United States will be able toget your hands on the Phone (1) through the Closed Beta Program.In the meantime, if readers really want the Phone (1) available in the U.S. as soon as possible, they shouldcall your carrier and let us know."
