- Xiaomi smartphone? Beautiful, but in those who have criticized the lack of support for the Widevine L1 protocol, which allows the viewing of content in high-resolution streaming on platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, TimVision etc .. And so finally after so much slamming, the software development team dedicated to the POCOPHONE F1, has finally released the Widevine L1 certification on the device, introducing this feature on the MIUI 10 closed beta 9.2.25.
A decisively important step that raises even more the fame of best buy of the Chinese terminal signed Xiaomi, considering that now you can find it at around 240 euro (see the offers box at the end of the article). Having said that, for the sake of the record, it should be noted that despite the presence of the Widevine CDM certification with security level L1, on the POCOPHONE F1 may not yet be able to stream videos in HD, as it is also necessary that the individual platforms insert the device in their white list. For Amazon Prime Video, there seems to be no problem, while for Netflix users, the wait is still prolonged.

On the other hand, it is quite another story Xiaomi Mi 9, smartphone that we have seen close to the technological event of the MWC2019, arriving on our market in Global version and with mouth-watering prices. In fact, the 6 / 64 GB version in the black color of the Xiaomi Mi 9 is pre-orderable on Amazon Italy at 449 euro. But apart from that, the Chinese flagship offers in addition to a top-range hardware, in a native way also the certification Widevine L1. Therefore no compromise of fruition of multimedia content in high definition and via streaming for the top of the range, Xiaomi brand that is gaining more and more support, considering also that in a few hours it is the first in the Amazon's bestseller smartphone ranking.
It therefore seems that the company has learned from its past mistakes and with Xiaomi Mi 9 has shown all that expertly made from the past experience. In fact, the launch of Mi 9 in Global version occurred only after 4 days from the official launch in China, while up to some smartphones it took months to wait and finally was able to exploit its hardware at best, providing it with the Widevine L1 certification to be able to enjoy HD streaming content on super-defined displays thanks to the AMOLED technology.
