Poco F1: One of the biggest drawbacks in 'smartest and cheapest' smartphones
Xiaomi launched Poco F1 in India in August, the first smartphone of its new sub-brand POCO. The phone is well-equipped. The most powerful processor in the phone is the Snapdragon 845. On August 28, a flash cell of the phone was held in which the phone was out of stock within a few minutes. Now there is a shortage associated with the phone. There are reports that video does not play on many popular live streaming sites in the phone.
Our affiliate website Gadgets Now checked and found that the Poco F1 does not support Widevine L1. Because of this, live streaming videos of many services like Amazon Prime, BBC do not play in the phone. Tell us, Widevine L1 protects content on smartphones. It protects the content of L3, L2 and L1 at three different levels.
Most smartphones support L1 and L3 security levels. If the smartphone only supports L3 level, then the video below HD quality can be played. This means that high resolution videos will not play. L1 Security Level devices can play comfortably above standard HD video.
The Poco F1 device does not support Widevine L1 because of this, HD + quality videos are not played in this phone. The Poco F1 device supports L3, meaning that the phone can play 540p quality videos but the screen size of the phone is 6.1 inches and the quality gets worse. Also, Widevine cannot be installed in this phone from any other source.
This is a major drawback of the phone.
