After months of waiting, Xiaomi has begun rolling out the Android 10 update for the Mi A3 Android One phone and the MIUI-running Redmi Note 8 Pro.

The Mi A3 was originally expected to get the update weeks ago but a recent report said there was a delay due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. Thankfully, the update is now available for owners of the phone and there is even a download link available thanks to XDA Developers for those who do not wish to wait for the OTA to arrive on their devices.

The changelog says system stability has been increased and system lag has reduced. However, Android 10 brings quite a number of interesting new features such as smart reply, Family Link for Digital Wellbeing, new gesture-based navigation, and of course, a system-wide Dark Mode.

The update for the Redmi Note 8 Pro is currently rolling out in the EEA, Russia, and Pakistan. It weighs in at 1.9GB and comes with February 2020’s security patch.
