Original story (published on March 9, 2020) follows:

Finally, the long wait seems to be over for the users of Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, as the OEM is now pushing the Android 10 update for the device.

We have covered the Android 10 developments for the Mi A2 Lite right from the beginning and this update does bring in a sigh of relief for the Mi A2 Lite users.

Earlier, it was allegedly confirmed by Xiaomi that the Android 10 update was not in the cards for the Mi A2 Lite. And reacting to this, hundred of Mi A2 Lite users signed a petition demanding Android 10 update for the device.

This impacted positively, as Xiaomi support, later assured that the Android 10 firmware was under development and will soon be pushed for the users.

Then we documented a report of a Geekbench listing where the Mi A2 Lite was spotted running Android 10 and after that Xiaomi published the Kernel sources for Mi A2 Lite Android Q, which almost confirmed that the update was right around the corner.

And now as per the official announcement, the Android 10 update is now live for the Mi A2 Lite users. The airborne update is hitting the units with version V11.0.2.0.QDLMIXM.

In fact, users have also confirmed receiving the Android 10 updates on their handsets.

Keep in mind that the update is available partially, meaning that initially, it will be available to a limited number of users and gradually will be rolled out for all the users.

Users can go ahead to Settings >> System >> System Update to check for the update notification and if there is a new update available, tap on it to install the update on your phone.
