The update could turn the smartphone into a “brick”
The Xiaomi Mi A3 is arguably the company’s most distressed smartphone in terms of software updates.
Do not update your Xiaomi Mi A3 to Android 11. This is the official appeal of the company to the owners of the device
Xiaomi released important updates for it many times, then recalled them, then did it all over again, and again not without problems.
And now with the next update, problems again. The release of Android 11 was a pleasant surprise for the owners of Mi A3, since, despite the attitude to the Android One program, this device was not previously updated in the forefront. However, the first lucky ones quickly realized that they were happy early. After the update, some users were faced with the fact that their devices stopped turning on.
It is not yet clear how many such users have already accumulated. Still, they were clear enough for Xiaomi to appeal to the owners of Mi A3 with an appeal not to update to Android 11, even if their devices received the appropriate firmware.
If you got the Android 11 update, ignore it for a while (don’t update). Some people reported that after upgrading to Android 11, their devices are locked and won’t start, so stay tuned.
Thus, it is better to wait and not risk it.
