Xiaomi has started pushing the latest Android 11 update for Mi A3. The device was launched back in 2019 with Android Pie 9.0 OS out-of-the-box. It received the Android 10 update as its first major update in March. Now the news comes out that Xiaomi Mi A3 starts receiving its second major OS update as Android 11 Update. However, the newer update has a critical bug that bricks the device after updating to the OTA. Here’s everything you need to know about Xiaomi Mi A3 Android 11 Update.
The latest airborne update on the Xiaomi Mi A3 measures around 1.4GB of download size. A number of users are reportedly receiving the Android 11 update. And there are some users complaining on social media about the hard bricking issue.

Android 11 Update for Xiaomi Mi A3
As always, it’s a staged update which might take some time to reach every device. In case you haven’t received the OTA then you can check it manually from the system settings. Although, as I said earlier, the reports suggest that this OTA will brick the smartphone.
PSA: don’t update your smartphone this time, I recommend you to wait for another patch.
