Xiaomi Mi A2 has begun to receive Android Pie beta updates, as reported by XDA Developers. This was spotted through screenshots of the latest beta posted by Whyle, an XDA member. Mi A2 was launched earlier this year, and is an Android One device based on Android 8.1 Oreo.
Since the phone offers a stock Android experience, there is no presence of MIUI on Mi A2. Instead, users will be able to experience regular Android 9.0 Pie features like Adaptive Battery, navigation gestures, and a digital wellbeing app among others.
As per the XDA Developers report, Mi A2 will not be receiving this Android Pie beta over-the-air (OTA). Instead, they would need to sideload the same, and backup their data before doing so. As Xiaomi is testing Android Pie for a range of phones, it is likely that Mi A2 will receive the stable ROM update in the coming weeks.
Xiaomi had promised that the Mi A2 would get Android Pie before the end of 2018.
