The Nothing’s Beta program enables US customers to purchase and test the phone(1) for $299 for the 8GB+128GB, Black variant.

The Nothing Phone 1, which was not initially released in the US, is now available through a ‘beta subscription’ program called ‘Nothing OS 1.5 Beta Subscription’. The program enables US customers to purchase and test the phone. This beta membership costs $299 and includes a black model of the phone with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.

Keep in mind, this isn’t an official US launch and the company advises that the phone (1) “may not work with all US carriers.” Only T-Mobile supports 5G, while users on AT&T and Verizon will only have 4G, and Verizon’s coverage is also limited.

Beta membership for the Nothing Phone (1) is set to end in June, and it’s uncertain whether the end of the beta means an official US release is on the horizon, or an opportunity for users to provide feedback on the Android 13 update Is. , and experience the nothing phone (1) in the body. But more importantly, after paying $299, the devices won’t need to be returned for nothing after the beta ends in June.

CEO Carl Pei told CNBC that the company is in discussion with some US carriers to launch a future product, as the reason for not launching the phone in the US is the various networks and customizations required on top of Android that require additional technical support for carriers.

“Phone 1 was not originally released in the US, but it is poised to become an important market for us. By providing our US audience with access to the Nothing beta membership, we can get to know them better and get their input can be included.
