Here's why Nothing isn't launching the Phone 2a in the US


Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis says the brand isn't in a rush to make its debut in North America.

Regarding the Phone (2), which was available unlocked on Nothing's website, Evangelidis said that as the device was aimed at early adopters, it was a straightforward decision to sell it directly. But the Phone (2a) is intended as a mass-market device, and without a carrier partnership, it didn't make sense for the brand to launch it in the country.
