Mi A3 is once again receiving Android 10 update, but you probably shouldn’t download it

This is the third Android 10 build Xiaomi has rolled out for Mi A3 smartphones. The first update was rolled out back in February, but Xiaomi stopped after users discovered bugs such as battery drain and fingerprint issues. The company re-released the Android 10 update in March with the latest security patch, but the same issues surfaced again. The third Android 10 update, which has started rolling out now, is again giving users trouble, but we hope Xiaomi will address them soon. The new update weighs 1.33GB, April security patch, and Android 10 features such as dark mode, privacy controls, and gesture navigations.

Android 10 is its first major update, and as part of Android One program, the Mi A3 is confirmed to get Android 11 as well.
