There’s disappointing news if you pre-ordered a Nothing 3a Pro and expected it to arrive next week. According to Android Police, Nothing has informed customers that their orders will be delayed and will arrive “a little later than expected.” Instead of March 25, the first Nothing 3a Pro shipments will arrive on Tuesday, April 15. Additionally, anyone who received an automated email stating their device is being shipped should ignore it.

At least for now, this delay only applies to pre-orders made in Europe, specifically the gray variant. The black model is expected to ship starting on March 31.

It isn’t clear whether this delay extends to the U.S. Here, Nothing is no longer accepting pre-orders for the device due to high demand.

The Nothing 3a Pro was announced at MWC earlier this month alongside the regular Nothing 3a. It features a 6.7-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 12GB of RAM, three cameras, and a 5,000mAh battery.

This new Pro model builds on Nothing’s signature transparent design, showcasing internal components and incorporating the Glyph Interface, which uses LED lights for notifications and other functions. Key features include a vibrant AMOLED display with a high refresh rate and a capable camera system featuring a high-megapixel primary sensor. The Pro version of the 3a series enhances the camera system by adding a periscope-style zoom lens.

Its Nothing OS aims to provide a clean and intuitive user experience, emphasizing simplicity and customization. The device also prioritizes battery life and fast charging, making it a competitive option for those seeking a stylish and functional smartphone without the flagship price tag.

Google’s next Gemini upgrade might not arrive as soon as expected
Even Google's AI needs more time to finish its homework

Google helped kickstart the modern AI race, but staying ahead has turned out to be far more difficult than joining it. According to a new Bloomberg report, the company has fallen months behind its internal schedule for launching Gemini 3.5 Pro, its next flagship AI model, as engineers continue working to improve one of its biggest weaknesses: coding.

The delay isn't simply about polishing another chatbot. It highlights a broader problem facing Google, where massive engineering teams, multiple product divisions and increasingly strict AI safety requirements are slowing the company's ability to respond to rivals that seem happy to move much faster.
