Xiaomi obviously isn’t interested in pushing the stock Android-rocking Mi A series. How else do we explain the lacklustre manner the company handles the Android 10 update for the models. After a long waiting period and several petitions, Xiaomi started pushing the update for the Mi A3 over the weekend. But one thing was consistent among users that got the update and that is the presence of several bugs, one of which is a non-functional fingerprint scanner. As a result of the complaints, the Chinese company has rolled back the update while it apparently tries to fix the bugs.

The update for the Mi A3 is 1.3GB in size and that is pretty large and we expect a few bugs here and there but the long wait has already mad users weary and now, this. There is even a Reddit thread for users to drop the issues encounter after the update. Even though the official changelog indicates that system stability has been increased and system lag has reduced, there were complaints of the phone rebooting in loops and would only stop when the rear camera is covered, among others.

When Xiaomi first launched the Mi A1 running stock Android, fans outside China were ecstatic about the development. Moreso, it was launched under Google’s Android One programme which meant Android updates would be prompt and regular. However, that hasn’t really been the case. Owners of the company’s latest Mi A3 had to petition Xiaomi over the delay to push the latest update. The update was also reportedly delayed by the Coronavirus outbreak. After the long wait, it still turned out disappointing!
