About damn time. I ordered a Nothing Phone 3a and I’m very excited because I saw a user post a list of the supported codecs and LC3, a requirement for Bluetooth LE audio and thus Auracast was there. This is huge not because the Auracast part which I’m not very interested but because this will allow me to connect my hearing aids (Resound Nexia 9) and enjoy high quality audio stream and two way freehand calls, something that on Android it’s only possible with Bluetooth LE Audio and the LC3 codec.

And it is about damn time because the requirements for Auracast have been there since Bluetooth 5.2 some 4 years ago.
