MIUI FORUM moderator posted this today. The screenshot clearly shows Android Version still 8.0.0 with 5th May security patch build number 9.5.11. So 8.1.0 may not come this month.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ritik99:
I just don't understand what's the problem with Xiaomi, they are making so many alpha builds, and didn't even make a single beta build. They had released Oreo in 15 days, just keep their year end promise, so they don't have to face legal consequences. Hopefully we Will get 8.1 in june.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] yaduvanshiii:
8.1 build already realised for test. 2day ago.

All bugs fixed in that build,. Im using it from 2hr.

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/beta-alpha-mi-a1-8-1-opm1-171019-019-8-t3788824

Which type of this file? Twrp ready or fastboot?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haizum74:
I agree completely. It is a shame as it's a damn good phone for the price. I'm more than pleased with it. Yes the camera could do with being better but it certainly isn't the worst I have used. However it is clearly evident that things seem to go like this:-

1) Quick, quick I need to update the the latest beta

2) Oh no, this is rubbish, there are tons of bugs

3) Posts on XDA, this has happened how do I fix it

4) Meddles with phone even more and bricks it

5) Proudly states 'Xiaomi are crap' despite the user causing the problem

6) Repeat ad nauseum
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] airidosas252:
Oh man, this happens so often, it's becoming nauseating. What people lack is patience - alright, we might get the update the since the day one, but what's the point of getting buggy mess? Look what is happening with Pixel 2. It's pretty evident, that rushing the update never really works out.

Anyway, I never faced any issues with this phone. This is quite possibly the best experience so far. It exceeded my expectations, by quite a bit.

People want everything right here, right now. And that's just not gonna happen. You want quality piece - you have to pay with time. There's no other way around. And in case you're impatient - just do something yourself.

People moaning all over the place is like a freaking plague. I had enough with MIUI forums, where almost every thread is about how bad this phone is and certaintly almost every word mocks Xiaomi.

I would have left the job sooner, if my manager would piss me off with things like that. I wouldn't stand the stress and probably purposely start making mistakes.

And the last thing I wanted to repeat again - if you hate this phone, just sell it for f**k sake. Nobody insisted you to buy it in the first place.

It's not an all-time investment, it's a tool, which you use every single day. Just trade for something else, but I'm sure that at this price point you won't find better phone than Mi A1. Full stop.

Thank you for your attention.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] goofball2k:
You forgot the parts

-cleared google framework to get the update, still no update coming after 3 seconds of clearing?

-clear again, no update?

-got the update but can't install. Post on XDA, leave out important information about rooting/system modifications.

-install update, now how to root again?

-rooted, now what should I do?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] santr33:
Oh Jesus, this is so relatable on these forums.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
The fact is.. Okay.. Xiaomi made a mess with the sources.. Okay.. They released them later as they should . Okay .. But again they are mess too.. But there are developers who are working really hard to make good roms.. They're doing an excellent job.. They are close to bring a stable rom.. Those people who complain about updates are the same people who are destroying the community.. Brothers just leave Xiaomi deliver the update when it's ready.. Everything is better late than never.. And all this problem with the google phone is because the service framework cache clearing to force an update... If you touch the Google service framework then you should factory reset the device or else problems will appear... I have personally no problem with my device that is software related. If you except the poor camera quality I don't have a problem with this phone.. But stop this.. You can't complain about a mess on your device especially when it is your fault..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
I absolutely love this phone. This is my 3rd Android One device and first Xiaomi device. The feel and look of it. The quality. Being stock AOSP with pure Google Apps included. It's basically a budget Pixel 2. The Camera is awesome once I enabled Camera2API and used a modded Google Camera app. People think this phone is very decent for the price.

What I hate is half of the community crying about it not being on MIUI and the other half shouting out BUGS!! When they in fact joined the Beta program to get updates earlier than others. They didn't realize that they are the BETA TESTERS and they keep complaining in forums like MIUI forums and XDA instead of properly sending bug reports to Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Olystem:
I don't like the miui. Stock Android is best
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haizum74:
Exactly, with regards to MIUI, why do people want it on this phone when they can get the MI 5X which is the same ruddy phone but with MIUI
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] goofball2k:
I've heard that some say they bought Mi A1 because they can't buy the 5x where they are.

That said, maybe some bought it expecting something crazy with stock android and then realize it isn't as customizable as MIUI so now they want that.

I've had both, not really thrilled with MIUI, I prefer stock android so this phone works better for my tastes.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] gougous3:
You guys are exaggerating a little bit. I'm also very pleased with the device, wasn't excepting it to be this good and I don't regret my purchase at all. But there are certainly some issues with it that can't and shouldn't be missed. Sure the community doesn't help much and I have to agree that it could do much better but still.

The phone is marketed as an Android One device and even though we get monthly security updates, it fails to go along its guidelines. It fails to properly keep up with the latest version but it isn't promoted as so. We were promised Oreo as of 2017 and we only got a semi working build on the last day of December. Quite funny, reminds me of my mid school days where I used to irresponsibly procrastinate my oral presentations till their last day due to my over chill approach (totally not lazyness :]). I'm not complaining but I can understand why some people get pissed off.

There's plenty of issues with the ROM itself that show some negligence in xiaomi's side, delayed unlocks, duplicating contacts, portrait mode inelegantly forcing beautify mode on people faces, etc.. some have been fixed some haven't. Just so you know, it took me 4 months to have 4g properly working (and I had to switch my system language) and the device comes with the bands I need.

I don't want the device to be perfect (owait, I secretly do) but at least, fair and as advertised. Things will only get worse as the device gets older and looses its priority and place to newer and more profitable devices (redmi note 5 pro will play a big role in this).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rh2600:
To be fair, if it weren't for the Indian market, Xiaomi wouldn't have even released the A1 - so whilst it's annoying Indian market bugs are occupying their time, we've also got India to thank for the phone in the first place!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyhuab:
That's not how it works. It's released Globally. Not just India. I hate how Google likes to tend to India the most but it's not even the only country that needs devices like this. It's selfish to always put India first when Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia among others also need the same. The problem here is that since India's user base is so huge, they still get prioritized and that is why the updates get delayed. Even the Google Phone app's compatibility with the Mi A1 was removed because of Indians complaining and rating it 1 star.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rh2600:
I know it's a global phone, but Xiaomi only go the effort of building and releasing a phone if all of their years of market research and planning tells them there is a market need that can be filled. Whilst people all over the world would love a budget phone like the A1, and South East Asia is a big and deserving market, Xiaomi wouldn't have bothered with this phone in the first place if it wasn't about servicing the largest country in the world after their own demostic China. In fact China and India's population are pretty much the same.

Again, if it weren't for the Indian market existing, and Xiaomi wanting to carry out business there, it's highly unlikely there would be an A1 at all - anywhere!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
You're very right about this.. But I'm just like this because of the complaining thing. India is of the biggest markets..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haizum74:
I understand what you are saying however being promised something does not guarantee it at an exact date. As for delayed unlocks, I've not had any issues with duplicating contacts either (although this was an issue back when I had my Nexus 4 so its not just a Xiaomi problem). As for 4G, again no issues at all.

'Things will only get worse as the device gets older and looses its priority and place to newer and more profitable devices (redmi note 5 pro will play a big role in this).' - this happens with every phone, its part and parcel of owning an Android phone unfortunately, hence why XDA is great for devs to produce custom ROMS.

I can't say I have noticed any issues with beautify mode but I dont use it because Im not that vain ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] gougous3:
It's not a matter of promises, it's a fact of getting the product you were presented. And those were only examples, I didn't want to be specific in anyway.

Also, I don't use beautify mode as well (lol) and that's the problem. Even with it disabled, portrait mode photos have it applied nonetheless, faces look super washed up and unrealistically polished.

About things getting worse, you missed my point, I was talking about how how having expectations for these issues to get fixed are quite hopeless.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] LouisMuruu:
I wrote a feedback to xiaomi using the feedback app regarding that beautify effect in stock portrait mode few months back. Seems like...mmhm, no answers yet ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] RisjadB:
Nah this phone is good as it is, it understandable the update delay this month because Chinese New Year but it isnt a big problem, if what rush update only bring new bug i prefer to wait patiently, what i hope for update is official camera2 api enable and g cam instead of miui cam and less bugs, other idc, new feature often bring some new bugs anyway, security patch.. what was that.. is it tasty... Can i eat it... As long as no high risk involved im fine with it

This is not a fake news.

I'm A Beta Tester So I Know on Oreo 8.1 Has Lots Of Bugs and Xiaomi Can't Able To Provide Stable Build.

That Is The Matter About Update. they Release The New Build But Even A Some Beta Tester Get The Oreo 8.1 Update.

Xiaomi don't Want to focus on MiA1.

Android One phone Still on oreo 8.0.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1ck474:
And what about all Beta updates based on 8.1?

More stable than the current 8.0 ROM.

"Xiaomi don't want to focus on Mi A1" it's not a fact, it's your personal idea
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Olystem:
First About Beta Updates.

Beta Build Have lots Of Bug.

If You Know about 8.1 Oreo leak Beta Build.

After Flash This New Beta Build. You Can Saw Lots Of Bugs. Last Build of Oreo 8.1 is 8.5.21.

Second.

This Is Not My Personal Idea Bro Even oppo Vivo Moto G5S Plus Phone Got Oreo 8.1.

Or The Android One Phone (MiA1) Still On Oreo 8.0.

I m sure They will Rolling out The oreo 8.1 Update In June.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] N1ck474:
I've installed all leaked builds and never had a bug, latest beta leak had fixed camera and PiP, just tethering was broken...

Yes but a lot of phone still on 8.0, just see all flagships, LG G6, Galaxy S8, Note 8, Huawei Mate 10 Pro (owned, still April patch and 8.0), all of them starts from 400€ (Maybe G6 from 300€) our Mi A1 it's like a 160€ phone, i think we're done for now....

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Olystem:
Bro If You Have Qus Like This Then Ask To Xiaomi I don't Have To Much Time To Tell U All The Things. Or I m Talking About 8.1 Beta Build Not Oreo 8.0 Stable Build. This Post Goal Is To Show You The Info About official Stable Update.

Don't Make Me Laugh On You.

If You Can't Face Any Issue Then Flash 8.1 Leak Build And Use It for 48 Hour.

Or I Think You Don't Know About Updates.

When I update My Post I attached The Screen Shot of official Stable Build.

Or You Can Check Mi Community Forum If You don't Face Any Issues.
