Mi A3's Android 10 update rolled back for third time
Xiaomi is struggling to release a stable Android 10 update for its Mi A3 smartphone. The company has once again rolled back the new update after major bugs came to light. Notably, the concerned software has been withdrawn twice before as well. To recall, Mi A3 comes under the Android One program, which promises at least two years of OS upgrades, according to Google.
Xiaomi first released the update in late February but quickly retracted it after serious bugs were reported by users. A similar bug-ridden update was delivered and rolled back in mid-March and now, for the third time, in April. According to Mi A3 users, all three updates caused issues such as battery drain, random reboots, performance lag, and inconsistency with the in-screen fingerprint sensor.
At present, there is no known timeline regarding the release of the update. However, given Xiaomi is already releasing an Android 10-based MIUI 11 update for some of its other handsets, we can expect it to fix the bugs and release a stable version soon.
The Mi A3 features a premium all-glass body and sports a 6.09-inch HD+ AMOLED display with an integrated fingerprint scanner. It is powered by a Snapdragon 665 processor coupled with up to 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of storage. Under the hood, it runs near-stock Android OS and packs a 4,030mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging.
The Mi A3 houses a triple rear camera setup comprising a 48MP (f/1.8) main sensor, 8MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth sensor. The handset sports a 32MP (f/2.0) front-facing snapper for selfies, video calling, and face unlock.
