LG invented the smartphone-as-slab well before the iPhone:

- dilap 4y ago> After the release of the iPhone the head of the LG Mobile Handset R&D Center was quoted saying he believed Apple had stolen the idea from the KE850 after it was announced as part of the iF Design Award. Huh, interesting! Duly noted. This provides an example of my point: even though the Samsung Galaxy, the iPhone, and the KE850 are all using the same basic slab design pioneered (apparently!) by LG, they all have distinct visual identities. In contrast the Nothing Phone is mostly just cribbing off of the iPhone. They need to take what they did w/ the LED area and apply the same design language to the rest of the phone.
