On January 30, 2023 (Monday), Carl Pai, CEO of the British venture company “Nothing Technologies Limited”, interviewed the US technology media Inverse.com about the company’s second next-generation smartphone “Nothing Phone (2) ”, announced that it will be announced in the second half of 2023.

Carl Pai has nothing to say about the main specifications of the “Phone (2)”, as well as whether to implement the same functions as the “Glyph Interface” light unit adopted in the first “Phone (1)”. Although it is not mentioned, it is clear that the “Phone (2)” will be a premium specification for the time being, and that unlike the “Phone (1)”, it will be launched in the United States from the beginning of its release. By the way, “Phone (1)” is a test program model with beta version Android 13 installed in the United States for some users He released it in December 2022, but for general users in the United States has not yet been released.

During the interview, Carl Pai said that in order to sell smartphones in the United States, it is necessary to cooperate with US carriers, acquire official certification, and adapt some of the functions for the US to the OS. It explains that it is necessary. And at the time of “Phone (1)”, it seems that the resource was not enough.

On the contrary, they are now able to obtain resources by doubling the number of employees, etc., and it seems that they are proceeding with development and preparations for the US release of “Phone (2)”. In addition, it is said that it has strengthened relationships with parts suppliers that could not be cooperated at the time of “Phone (1)”.

As you all know, the first “Phone (1)” was also released in Japan, and has gained popularity as well as a certain amount of recognition. However, it is a pity that “Phone (1)” was not localized so much because Japanese functions such as “Osaifu-Keitai” were omitted.

I really want “Phone (2)” to be localized for Japan. I’m looking forward to the appearance of “Phone (2)”, including premium specs.
