Xiaomi rolled out the Android Oreo update for the Mi A1 smartphone just before 2018 began. However, the rollout wasn’t perfect as the update brought along some bugs and issues including fingerprint sensor lag and battery drain. All of this caused Xiaomi to suspend the rollout not once but twice in January, neither of which seemed to be able to fix the issues. Now, Xiaomi has acknowledged the problems and has said that it is working on a patch to fix them.

Some Mi A1 users have taken to Reddit, Twitter and other platforms to report persisting issues such as a lag in the fingerprint sensor and poor battery performance that’s causing them to charge their units multiple times during the day. “This issue has been reported already and developers are working to solve this issue. This issue will be rectified soon so kindly stay tuned,” a member of the MIUI Big Hunter team said on the company’s official forum.

While Xiaomi has acknowledged the issues, the company has not yet provided an exact time or date for when it will rollout the fix. The Mi A1 was the first under Rs 15,000 smartphone in India to receive the Android Oreo update. This made the smartphone a formidable challenger against its competition like the Moto G5S Plus and Honor 7X to name a few.

Initially launched at Rs 14,999, the Mi A1 received a permanent Rs 1,000 price cut in India and can now be found at Rs 13,999. The Android One smartphone initially came with stock Android 7.1.2 Nougat out-of-the-box. Xiaomi also confirmed during the launch that the Mi A1 will get Android P after it is announced later this year. With the Android Oreo update, the Mi A1 gets features like Picture-in-Picture, notification dots, a newly designed menu as well as support for fast charging.

The Mi A1 sports a 5.5-inch full-HD display and is powered by a 2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor clubbed with Adreno 506 GPU, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage which is further expandable by up to 128GB via a hybrid micro-SD card slot. It bears dual 12-megapixel sensor, one with a wide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture and one with a telephoto lens with an f/2.6 aperture. You also get a 5-megapixel sensor on the front with beautification mode. In our review, we found that the portrait mode offered crisp and detailed bokeh shots with little no blur around the edges.
