It’s no news again that Xiaomi has suspended the development of Mi A-series phones. Although the company didn’t confirm that publicly, that’s now certain as the successor to the Mi A3 never came. The Xiaomi Mi A3 is the only Xiaomi Mi A series phone eligible for the Android 11 update, which started rolling out yesterday.

The company has acknowledged the issue and promised a fix, but we are yet to learn how they’ll do that. The company will probably employ the same strategy…

Xiaomi might as well have concluded the MIUI 12 rollout given the number of phones that have dropped from the official list, released during the global launch. On the list were the Redmi 7, Redmi 6A, and Redmi Note 5, other phones. You can check out the full list here. However, there has been a series of changes and omissions of some device from the list. A couple of weeks ago, the company confirmed it wouldn’t be upgrading the Redmi 7, Redmi 6A, Redmi Y3 to MIUI 12 due to a compatibility issue. And looking at the recent development, it…

The Redmi Note 8 is among the Xiaomi phones yet to fully receive the stable MIUI 12 update. Some Global Redmi Note 8 users haven’t received the update for the first time because the first build that arrived months ago was buggy and made it impossible for them to upgrade. The affected users got a stable MIUI 11 update to fix the bug, but that didn’t work as they are haven’t received the MIUI 12 update yet. Xiaomi has already promised to roll out a new update for Redmi Note 8 in the coming weeks and it seems the update is in…
