Xiaomi Mi A1 picks up December security patch

The Android One backed Xiaomi Mi A1 is the latest phone to get the December Android security update, which brings many fixes for vulnerabilities to improve the security of the device

Along with December 2017 security patch, the update also improves the overall stability of the device and optimizes the devices performance. Lastly it also includes general bug fixes as well.

The update weighs at 153MB in size and is rolling out over-the-air. If you don't immediately see the download & install notification, try checking manually, by going to Settings > About phone > System updates.

This is the benefit of owning an Android One device. While Xiaomi's MIUI running phone receives security update very late, the Android One backed Mi A1 gets the latest Android security update every month.

Meanwhile, Xiaomi has also started testing Android Oreo beta for Mi A1 with select users. It also has December 2017 security patch.
