Phone and headphone leaks were real. I first thought about the camera layout as the only negative of Phone (3), as it would not be easy to manufacture a phone case for it, but manufactures always find a way, like Nothing does! The overall hardware design and software design is so good! I am upgrading to a Nothing Phone (3a) in the coming weeks and I am happy that the Phone (3a) shares some similar specs with the flagship. The headphones are great as well, the buttons looked confusing as they looked identical, so you may not always know what feature is for which button. The design language is good, looks okay for comfort. The price of the Headphone (1) is cheaper than the Apple Airpods Max - which is great for those who want similar quality for a cheap price.
Overall, Nothing has done a great job with these products, however the live stream audio was appalling.
