Xiaomi is preparing for the stable Android 12 rollout, but the Mi A3 wouldn’t receive the update. The device has since elapsed its Android OS support. It received the Android 11 update in December last year, which ended the promised two OS upgrades. However, Xiaomi has continued to upgrade the Android security patch level and has just released that of November 2021.
The November security patch for the Xiaomi Mi A3 is coming too late. It’s already December, and we would expect the security patch level to date December 2021. That’s not the case, as the company will probably receive this month’s patch later. Of course, it is better late than never, and we recommend that you download and install the latest security patch build.
The update is seeding with a version number – V12.0.16.0 RFQMIXM. It weighs 42.60MB and brings the November security to increase system security and stability. And yes, the update is safe, but it doesn’t seem to bring any changes. According to feedback, it’s only a security patch build, but as usual, it has addressed some security vulnerabilities and optimized performance.
Meanwhile, the November security patch for the Xiaomi Mi A3 is OTA bound. It’ll take some time before going round, but you can use the link below if you opt for manual installation.
