It seems like the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is far from done with the problems related to Mi A2 Lite, even after rolling out the Android 10 update.

Xiaomi does not seem to have a stronghold on its Android-One powered devices, because several issues have also crept up with the Mi A3, where the Android 10 update was halted due to multiple errors and bugs.

Similarly, the Mi A2 Lite has also got under the radar and the Android 10 update for the device has been halted by Xiaomi due to several bugs and issues that showed up after the update.

Taking a look back, the Android 10 update for the Mi A2 Lite, saw the light of the day in the second week of March, after hundreds of users signed an online petition demanding the Android 10 update for the phone.

Just, when everyone thought that they have dealt with the task, multiple users reported that the Android 10 update turned out to be a buggy one, and has bricked their Mi A2 Lite units.

However, Xiaomi was quick to respond to this situation and not only acknowledged the bricking and boot looping issue on Mi A2 lite caused by the Android 10 update but also, suspended the rollout.

And it looks like users of the Mi A2 Lite might have to wait a bit longer as per an official statement, Xiaomi has stated that its team is working on fixing the boot loop/bricking issue, and the update is expected to come out throughout March, once the bugs are fixed.

Moreover, Xiaomi has also requested the affected users, to bring their damaged devices to the authorized service centers for post-sale assistance.

Check out the official announcement below (translated from Spanish):

– Our teams are now working to resolve the issue and our goal is to implement an OTA update throughout March.

– Affected users are encouraged to bring their devices to Xiaomi authorized service centers for post-sale assistance.

– In addition, users can return to the point of sale where they purchased the device and request RMA (service order) and the defective device will be collected from the point of sale through the authorized service center. Like general repair procedures.

This is in fact, some troubling times for the Android One powered Xiaomi Mi A-series smartphones. But, Xiaomi has also shown their concerns about such issues and their efforts in solving them should not be neglected.

We will keep you posted once there are some new developments in this regard.
