Poco F1 receives Widevine L1 certification with MIUI 10 9.2.25 (beta) update

Xiaomi India has finally rolled out a new software update for the Xiaomi Poco F1, which includes Widevine L1 support. Widevine L1 is a prerequisite certification required to stream HD content on various streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Videos and Nextflix.

The MIUI 10 9.2.25 (beta) update is now available for the best testers, which includes Widevine L1 certification and 4K video recording @60fps. As soon as you install the update, you will be able to watch HD content on Amazon Prime Videos. Even with the Widevine L1 certification, the Poco F1 cannot play HD content on Netflix due to an issue with the vendor side.
