The Pocophone F1 is now Widevine L1 certified, thanks to the latest stable build update.
Last year September, it was revealed that the Pocophone F1 lacks Widevine L1 DRM support which does not allow the phone to stream HD and up videos from services like Netflix, Amazon Video, and iFlix.
The announcement was made by Poco India GM Manmohan Chandolu (@cmamohan), who recently tweeted about it.
Good News! We have started rolling out a new stable update for all our #POCOF1 fans. Key highlights of this update:
