Xiaomi Mi A3 started receiving Android 11, but it's better not to update

On New Year's Eve, Xiaomi released a stable Android 11 update without a beta program for public sector employees

Xiaomi Mi A3. But this time it wasn’t without problems.

What's wrong

It appears that the rollout of the update has just begun, as it is not available to all users. The firmware weighs 1.4 GB and brings several important improvements. The list of changes includes:

  • Improved notification shadow
  • Conversation bubbles
  • Better permission management
  • Enhanced DND Mode

As usual, with a phased update, it may take some time before all users receive the firmware. But even if you received the update, it’s better not to install it.

The point is that users who updatedbefore Android 11, they report problems: their smartphones become bricked and stop working. What the problem is is still unknown, but Xiaomi itself published the following update on social networks:

“If you have received the Android 11 update,ignore it for a while (don't update). Some people reported that after the Android 11 update the device is locked and won't start, so wait for a fix."

It is not yet known when the fix will be released.

By the way, this is not the first time that problems have arisen when updating the Mi A3. Previously, the update broke the functionality of dual SIM cards in the phone, after which Xiaomi released a fix for the bug.
