Android 9.0 Pie is still relatively new and hasn’t exactly gotten to a notable percentage of Android devices. A number of Android One phones have started receiving the update to Android Pie, coupled with several flagship models that were launched with Android Pie pre-installed. However, the usage percentage of Android Pie is still unknown as Google last updated the Android usage chart in October and Android Pie wasn’t captured.

The Mi A2 is now set to swell the number of models that is rocking Android Pie already as Xiaomi has announced that the Android One phone will start receiving the update on December 18. Before now, a few Xiaomi Mi A2 users who are beta testers received the Android 9 Pie update on November 16 but the update will be without restriction.

This update will make the Mi A2 become Xiaomi’s first Android One model to receive the stable Android Pie update. The update is pretty fast compared to the pace the Mi A1 received Android Oreo update. The same fate might befall the A1 but we can’t say for sure. However, since Mi A2 Lite also got the Android Pie stable ROM delivered to select users 10 days after the A2, it simply means the global release of its own stable ROM to users isn’t too far behind. Perhaps, Xiaomi will start pushing updates to Mi A2 Lite phones around New Year’s Eve or in early January.
