Xiaomi has resumed the roll-out of Android 8.1 Oreo for the Mi A1. The update first began rolling out a few weeks ago but had a bug that wiped away users’ SMS. This caused the update to be suspended.
The new update not only brings Android 8.1 Oreo but also comes with July’s security patch, unlike the first one that came with June’s security patch. The update comes in two sizes – 467.3MB for those who didn’t get the first update and 1152MB for those who received the first update with the SMS bug.
The update will roll out over the next few days to all users. So far, there has been no report of any bugs, so you can go ahead and install when you receive it.
