Why do people call a PR campaign a “leak”? To make it sound cool?

Such a “hi, fellow kids” moment.

Not for me. I’m sticking to mid-range alternatives from here out.

I went with the Nothing Phone (1) earlier this year. It’s more than capable for my needs, costs half as much as a typical flagship, and I expect to run it for at least 3 years, maybe 4, at which point I’ll be looking for another mid-range product, I’m sure.
