Recently, Motorola rolled out the Android 11 update to the Moto G Pro making it the company’s first device to get the latest version. Today, the company is finally seeding out a new Android update for the 2019 Moto G8 Play but it’s the older Android 10.

Motorola is rolling out a new update for Moto G8 Play with software version QMD30.47-19 in Brazil. Accordingly, it updates the OS to the Android 10. The official Motorola Support page Courtesy of Piunikaweb shows that it has started seeding the update from February 8, 2021.

Apart from Android 10, the update also brings December 2020 Security patch to the device. If you recall, Moto G8 Play, which launched back in October 2019, shipped with Android 9 Pie out of the box.

After a long delay, Motorola Brazil had reportedly said back in July 2020 that the Android 10 Update for the device will be out soon. However, for some reason, that didn’t happen. Anyway, the update is here and you can expect features like a dark theme, full-screen Navigation gestures, and some improvements to privacy.

As for the rollout, expect it to gradually land on every G8 Play in the country soon. Also, it would be too much to ask for an update to Android 11 considering it’s a 2019 budget device but let’s see how things pan out in the future.

speaking of which, in case you don’t know, the Moto G8 Play features a 6.2-inch Max Vision HD+ Display, Triple rear cameras with a 13MP main lens, 4,000mAh battery, NFC, and debuted for R$ 1099 in Brazil.

Xiaomi‘s 2018 stock Android-running Mi A2 Lite last week received an update to Google’s latest Android 10 OS but that was not to last as the company soon rolled back the update as a result of bugs. The early build of the update was expected to have some bugs but in the case of the Mi A2 Lite, just like the Mi A3, the issues with the update extend beyond just a few minor bugs. Some users complained of their phone’s LCD getting damaged permanently while in other cases, the battery won’t charge fully. In some extreme cases, the phones got bricked and several other issues.

Xiaomi is reportedly working hard to fix the issues caused by the flopped Android 10 update. To this end, the company’s software team announced in the Mi community that it is working towards rolling out a new OTA update all through this month. In essence, owners of the Mi A2 Lite will start receiving the update in batches before April. However, no specific date was stated for the rollout.

In addition, Xiaomi is encouraging A2 Lite users whose models were bricked by the botched Android 10 update to take the units to authorized Mi service centres or return them to retailers for post-sales assistance (RMA).

We’ll keep you informed as soon as the updates start rolling.
