Forward-looking:<\/strong> London-based consumer electronics startup Nothing is looking to bring its smartphone prowess to the US. Founder Carl Pei, who helped launch Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus, told CNBC that his company has held preliminary conversations with select US wireless carriers about launching a phone stateside. Pei did not name-drop anyone but presumably, Nothing is talking with at least a couple of the nation’s biggest players. <\/p>\n

Nothing launched its first smartphone, the Phone (1)<\/a>, back in July but only in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Other major markets like Canada and the US were not included in the launch. According to CNBC, Nothing has shipped 500,000 smartphones and 600,000 pairs of its Ear (1) earbuds to date.<\/p>\n

Pei told the publication they didn’t launch their first smartphone in the US due to all of the additional technical support needed, like adding unique carrier customizations on top of Android. “We felt that we weren’t ready before,” Pei added.<\/p>\n
