The Mi A3 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro are amongst Xiaomi’s highlight devices for 2019. While the Redmi Note 8 Pro carries Xiaomi’s mid-range portfolio on its shoulders, the Mi A3 takes charge of Android One duties, giving users an option to officially use Google’s Android instead of MIUI on a Xiaomi device. Despite their importance in Xiaomi’s lineup, the devices have oddly lacked behind when it comes to Android 10 updates. But now, the wait is finally over, as both, the Xiaomi Mi A3 and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro are now finally receiving their official Android 10 updates.

Mi A3

The Xiaomi Mi A3’s Android 10 update was promised for mid-February 2020, but we recently reported that the update was delayed because of the effects of the novel Coronavirus. The health emergency imposed by COVID-19 is a genuine issue, and we can’t really blame Xiaomi for this delay. Xiaomi had mentioned that there is no new date decided for the update, but surprisingly, we now have access to the official Android 10 update for the Mi A3!
