CEO Carl Pei had earlier said that the company would make the US market its "number one priority" for the Phone (2) that will arrive later this year. However, the challenge with the US market is that smartphone brands need to work with the carriers on certification and to adapt some of their features into their OS. This requires more resources, which increases the overall cost of the device.
