Xiaomi has recently upgraded some of its smartphones to the latest MIUI 10 UI including the Snapdragon 845 Poco F1. The new addition to the list is Redmi 5A. Xiaomi has now upgraded one of its most popular smartphones of all times, the Redmi 5A to MIUI 10 based on Android 8.1 Oreo. The Redmi 5A has been one of the best selling phones by Xiaomi this year. The smartphone, to recall, was launched running on MIUI 9 based on Android 7.1 Nougat. There was no confirmation if the phone will be upgraded to MIUI 10 based on Android Oreo or not. Now all the doubts have been cleared as Xiaomi brings MIUI 10 based on Android Oreo to Redmi 5A.

Redmi 5A Gets Android 8.1 Oreo
To recollect, the Redmi 5A was upgraded to MIUI 10 last month itself, but sadly it was based on the same old Android 7.1 Nougat. This disappointed a lot of Redmi 5A users. But as Xiaomi, has been very committed to living up to its consumers expectation, the company does it again with the Redmi 5A. Notably, Xiaomi delivers at least one major Android upgrade to its smartphones. Sadly, Android 8.1 Oreo could be the final major update to the Redmi 5A.
Xiaomi has upgraded the Redmi 5A to Android 8.1 Oreo. This is a part of the global stable update, which means all Redmi 5A users will get the update. If you still haven’t got the update, it could be possible that the software rollout could be happening in a phased manner. So, if you’re a Redmi 5A user and still haven’t got the Android 8.1 Oreo update, you might need to wait for some more time. Also, before downloading and installing the update, you should ensure to connect your phone to a Wi-Fi network, back up all your data and fully charge the phone.
