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.

Vivo X300 FE review: The compact flagship I didn’t expect to like this much
The Vivo X300 FE is the Hawkeye of flagships. It doesn't have superpowers, but somehow gets the job done better than everyone else.
Vivo X300 FE

Why Hawkeye?

Hawkeye was never the strongest Avenger, nor did he have the flashiest suit or superpowers. Yet he consistently proved his worth through precision, reliability, and doing the fundamentals exceptionally well. The Vivo X300 FE follows the same philosophy. It doesn't chase outrageous specifications or marketing gimmicks. Instead, it quietly nails the essentials with a superb display, dependable performance, excellent cameras, and outstanding battery life. It may not grab all the headlines, but when it matters, it's the flagship that gets the job done.
