How to Update the Xiaomi Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite with Android 11

The Xiaomi Mi A2 and the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite have been two of the great mobiles of the A family that, after the many problems found in the 2019 model, the Mi A3, it seems that they will be the last to receive Android 11 . And they do not do it on the part of the company, but thanks to some developers who have already published their ROMs bands in the latest Google software for both devices.

Update the Xiaomi Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite with Android 11

Despite being part of the Android One program, it is almost certain that the Xiaomi Mi A2 , since it was launched in 2018 with Android 8.0 Oreo and has already gone through two major system updates, reaching Android 10. Today only the Xiaomi My A3 should have this “privilege”, but given the infinite problems that Xiaomi has encountered with the update to Android 10 of this model, we question it very much.

Fortunately, it’s in cases like this that Android 11 custom ROMs come in, thanks to which very outdated models can be upgraded.

Android 11 ROMs for Xiaomi Mi A2

Android 11 comes to the Xiaomi Mi A2 and the Lite model thanks to the work done by the developers of the POSP project, the acronym for Potato Open Sauce Project. Behind this peculiar name we find the AOSP version of Android 11, that is, a pure and simple version, without a trace of customization or additional functions, which maintains the stock nature already present in the software of the phones.
