Mi A3 gets Android 11, with issues

Typically, new smartphone updates bring a range of improvements and new features. However, the improvements in the update that are now being rolled out for the Xiaomi Mi A3 will still be delayed. Xiaomi has started the distribution of the Android 11 update for the Xiaomi Mi A3, but this is not without a struggle.

In the past, Xiaomi’s Android One devices have shown much more often that the updates screw up everything. In March on the Mi A2 Lite, Xiaomi went wrong three times in April with a new update for the Mi A3. Now several users of the Xiaomi Mi A3 report that they have been offered the update to Android 11. For many of these users, the phone has become unusable after installing the update, which is also known as ‘bricking’.

The cause of the malicious mistake is still unknown. It is hoped that the manufacturer will soon release an update that fixes this problem. If you get a notification about the Android 11 update for your Xiaomi Mi A3, do not install it yet. It can save a lot of trouble.
