Xiaomi Mi A1 finally getting Android 8.0 Oreo

Xiaomi Mi A1 Oreo 

Today, we’re getting numerous reports from users in India that the final Android Mi A1 Oreo update is already actively rolling out to their Xiaomi Mi A1 devices.

This comes after a tweet by Xiaomi India which announced the pending start of the update seeding yesterday.

The update weighs in more than 1GB so it’s quite a large download. It also brings the December security updates.

We are also yet to hear whether the final build brings the fast charging support, which was available in the earlier beta build.

Users who update should expect to see the standard new Oreo features such a lighter UI color, the notification dots, Auto Fill in apps, Night Light mode, Picture-in-Picture mode, and others.

The wait is over, Android O 7.12.29 for Xiaomi Mi A1 starts rolling out today! From now on, many of you should be able to progressively receive the update over-the-air (OTA) on your phones. Don’t worry if you haven’t got the update now, the rollout is pushed in batches, all of you shall get the update in the near future. Let’s give credits to our developers and beta testers who devote so much time and energy to make this gorgeous moment happen. Their contributions shall be honored and respected.
