                            Unlikely to support Project Treble if it didn't come like this at first. It implies modifying the current partition scheme, which is a risk Xiaomi is unlikely to take on an already released device, especially regarding potential data loss or bricking a device.

                              This update is not available on phones already updated to 8.1 before the bugs were announced. How does one update with the 8.1 July 2018 version which fixes the bugs with the update?

                                  But if one has already updated to the buggy Oreo 8.1 before all the hooha about the bugs, it seems the update (at least on my phone) is not available and does not appear. C'mon Xiaomi, how is this so.

                                      BTW, I read that at last we will be able to see the Bluetooth power indicator for connected BT devices?

                                        Lol so much for being Android one phone
