Our mobile may have a large, high-quality screen, however, to view certain content in high definition, we will need the Widevine L1 certification. We have already talked on other occasions about this certification system, so necessary to enjoy streaming services with HD quality. However, not all Pocophone F1 have this possibility.
The Pocophone F1 or Poco F1 in other markets, is one of the most interesting Xiaomi terminals, which was launched in 2018. This true “flasghip killer” was the bet of many users, who still have it in their hands and functioning as the first day. In addition, its Snapdragon 845 guarantees great performance even in the middle of 2021. However, many users continue to have problems with the Widevine L1 certification, despite the fact that we are facing a terminal more than capable of playing all kinds of content in high definition.
Because it is necessary
Remember that this certificate is necessary to access certain DRM content. Widevine’s L1 level allows content to be played on platforms like Netflix and many others. If this certification is not available, they can still be seen, but SD quality. As reported from Pinikaweb, there are still many Poco F1 without Widevine L1. Widevine has three levels of security, being levels L1 and L3 those used in Android. It depends on them that the contents of platforms such as Netflix can be viewed in HD (Widevine L1) or SD (Widevine L3) quality.
Activate Widevine L1 on Pocophone F1
Previous requirements
However, the Pocophone F1 that was marketed in our market, received an update long ago to obtain this certification. However, it goes unnoticed by many users, as it must be activated manually. To do this, we must have our Pocophone F1 updated to the latest version. Then we will have to make sure we are connected to the Internet. We must also have a fingerprint registered on the mobile.
Certificate activation
Once we have the previous steps, we will have to go to Settings / Lock Screen and password. Once inside, click on Widevine L1 and click on “Certify”. Once done, the terminal will have the necessary certificate to be able to reproduce content in high resolution in all types of streaming video services. However, if the problems persist in apps like Netflix, it is recommended to clear the cache of it or uninstall it. Then we will have to restart the device, reinstall the app and try again.
