The company has followed up on its promise to deliver Oreo 8.0 update for Mi A1 devices before the end of 2017 even though it is the last day of the year in India.
The company took to its official Twitter account to announce the roll-out of the new update.
We're ending the year with an O! #MiA1 users, stay tuned as we're rolling out your long-awaited update in batches but make sure you're already on the latest December update (7.12.19) to receive Android O! pic.twitter.com/GhRtDnyJn4— Mi (@xiaomi) December 31, 2017
It is to be noted that users need to be on the latest update of version 7.12.19 that was released earlier this month to receive the Android Oreo update.
Company stated that the update will be rolled out in batches to avoid any serious issue from affecting all the devices at once. Batch roll-out allows the company to stop the update if any serious issue is reported to ensure that only a small number of devices are affected by that issue. This approach is employed by almost all companies while rolling out a new software update.
Mi A1 is the first smartphone by Xiaomi that runs on Android One, a project by Google to ensure quick update delivery and this has resulted in timely updates for almost all the security patches that are released by Google.
