Pocophone F1 Main Weakness
Poco F1 - named Pocophone F1 in positive international
markets - was launched former this month by Xiaomi's new sub-brand Poco. It was
released as an influential new smartphone with a mid-range pricing that weakens
even the inexpensive flagships in the market. However, the Poco F1 is lacking a
critical feature that will be disappointing for weighty multimedia users. It
does not come with provision for the Widevine L1 DRM, essential for playing HD
videos (720p and above) on most major flowing platforms counting Netflix,
Amazon Prime Video, Google Play. It only supports Widevine L3 which is only
capable of flowing standard definition (SD) content. It is the lowermost
standard among the three - Widevine L1, L2, L3.
Hotsprice has independently been capable to verify this
development, first stated by Indian blog Android Pure. All Netflix titles show
an HD icon on phones that support Widevine L1, and none on the ones that don't
support the normal; the latter was spotted on the Poco F1. With Widevine L3,
Netflix is accomplished of running videos only up to 540p in resolution. We
have grasped out to Xiaomi India for a comment and will update this space consequently.
Google's Android platform supports frequent DRM platforms
such as ClearKey, Microsoft PlayReady, and more; however, Widevine is the most
popular one used by streaming services. Widevine helps curb piracy of content
from these stages. This issue was before observed in the OnePlus 5T back in
December last year. Issuing a software inform to fix this certification issue
does not appear to be the way out, according to the Android Pure report.
