So I want to know if this phone has seamless update (A/B Partition) like Mi A1?
And since released out of the box with Android Oreo, is the Treble Support confirmed?
Yes and yes. I'm not sure about 1st, but treble is necessary for launching Oreo phones... If a1 had seamless update this new model too..
Mi A2 has both A/B partitions system and Treble support.
Thanks for the answers guys. :good:
Mi A2 is confirmed jasmine_sprout and Mi A2 lite is confirmed daisy_sprout. Both are A/B devices. I have already added them to the list of devices with A/B support.
I was hoping I can easily turn my 6X into a A2... Now my dreams shattered.

Is it the whole Pixel like deal? Like A/B partition for seamless system updates? And Treble should be applicable to only one partition right? Sorry I don't have much knowledge about it.

Is it totally impossible to re-partition a device?

Mi A2 has A/B partition, but the device has some bugs on GSI Roms. You can find more info about this here

Maybe possible.
But the firmware ARB lock is not fun, not want to get into another HARDBRICK again.
Also I used to read that converting a 6X into A2 might not necessary get automatic update.
Anyway, I finally come to realise Android One or AOSP isn't what I want anymore, I prefer the privacy security feature in LineageOS offering - Having moving from Mi 5 running LineageOS 15.1 and Nokia 8 with Android One.
And I don't really need to have this A/B feature, have it on Nokia 8, it's a nifty to have, not a must have. If you play with custom ROM, you prolly know how to backup and restore your phone, A/B is for people who doesn't want to face that.

All good things come to those who wait. Technically, it will be easer to configure a TWRP build for the A2 Lite since there are already Xiaomi specific official TWRP builds for devices that use the same SOC. It is still IN the oven, by the way. Other than a pre-release order from Ali or Gearbest (and good luck with customs duties on those) most Xiaomi outlets (at least that I can find here in the EU) seem to not have received a release date, yet.
Patience, Jedi.
TWRP would be a bit difficult to port (let alone compile) without the factory images, and who knows when Xiaomi will release those. We could also use a one click root tool (spyware) to pull the factory images directly from the device. Only issue is it is total spyware and you'll need to flash factory over it to remove the spyware (which we dont have). So best chance is to wait for someone to get the factory images, then we can easily port TWRP.
thanks for the advise guys. appreciate.. then.. wait for the twrp it is.
Mi A2 is the same as MI6x.
In China,we already have twrp unofficial

Are there any news about Android 9 pie for our Mi A2?
"We can also look forward to Pie arriving for compatible Android One devices before the end of fall."
I hope A2 will get android P in the October update.
Maybe we get in the September update, who knows ?
Shouldn't it be already possible to get pie through a gsi? Did someone tried it?
I read on mi India official page on Twitter our phone will be one of first phones to get Android p

As far as I know, there isn't any *stable* Android 9 GSI for the Xiaomi Mi A2 that supports its partition style (A/B). A list of various GSI images can bei found here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

This is not a stable Android P GSI, it's just the ported Developer Preview which I already knew.

Someone can port the A image from phh to A/B and try that. Shouldn't be hard.
Android 9 GSI has been released (with GApps/su):

Yes
Ok, can you elaborate more on that? Can I pick a GSI and flash it on the Mi A2 with TWRP if I like?

At the moment I would say no. TWRP doesn't fully work on our device yet, will need time to fix it. The phone has literally just come out so best to wait for Devs to jump on it before thinking of flashing GSI's.
Although you try it at your own risk and report back
Per Google's terminal command, I checked and the Mi A2 uses the arm64 zip. Will this GSI Treble image flash without bricking the device?

I'm interested also in Pixel Experience, we can try the GSI but it haven't received any updates since the last month. And for gcam, you can try any Mi 9T version, the camera modules are exactly the same
