Ever since the release of the Nothing Phone 1 last year, it has been gaining popularity. Now, the company is launching its second flagship smartphone, the Nothing Phone 2, and more American mobile subscribers than ever before are eager to own a Nothing smartphone. While the Phone 1 had its merits, it was not available in the US at launch, which made it difficult for interested individuals to get one in the country.

That beta program ended on June 30, 2023, so you cannot take advantage of it any more. With the launch of the Nothing Phone 2, US fans of the brand are hoping that the Nothing Phone 2 will not have the same fate and look to get their hands on it without jumping through hoops
