After successfully launching Nothing Phone (1), Nothing may soon be preparing to launch Nothing Phone (2). Company co-founder Carl Pei has hinted at the launch of the Nothing Phone (2). However, the phone might be limited to the US market only. Pei said the company has decided to make the US its number one priority in terms of markets. So if phone (2) arrives, the US will be the country to get it.

"We decided to make the U.S. our No. 1 priority in terms of markets," Pei says. We couldn't do it earlier because we were only in our second year, and our hands were tied building the team as we were building the products. Now, as we're on a more solid footing, we can take a step forward, " Pei told Inverse.

Pei does not mean Nothing Phone will not be released in other markets. Instead, he suggests that the phone be available for the US market before markets, including India. To recall, Nothing Phone (1) was never released in the US. The phone was the company's first smartphone and was well-received by buyers. Pei-led then released Nothing Ear (1), followed by Nothing Ear (Stick) headphones.
