Xiaomi Mi A2 finally starts receiving Android 10 update, brings multiple new features

Android 10 was launched back in September of last year. And for users running a barebones version of the operating system, this has been a long wait.

The Android 10 update has a size of 1.3GB and is slowly rolling out to all Mi A2 users, to avoid server congestion.

We recommend that you fully charge your device before performing an update, as if it shuts down during the update process there might be chances of the device being bricked, which means the device will be rendered useless.

Even though this build has been labelled as 'stable', there are still a number of kinks that the company need to get rid off. These include VoWiFi option missing, APEX packages also require that you have a locked bootloader.
