Poco F1 got the update after receiving a Widevine L1 certificate via an MIUI Beta OTA update. With the Widevine L1 license, Poco F1 users can stream HD content on streaming services like Amazon Prime, Hotstar and Netflix. Currently, Poco F1 has a Widevine L3 license that allows users to stream on these services only at 540p.

XDA Developers reported that the Mi 8 and Mi 8 Pro have also received a beta software update that allows these devices to shoot at 4K 60fps. The new feature is a part of the update on MIUI 10 Global Beta 9.3.1 which was released on March 1 and was available for users to download.

The company has been bringing new features via OTA updates to its older devices. Recently, the dark mode feature, which would be available on Android Q as a system-wide update, was seen testing on MIUI 10 Global Beta ROM. This means that the feature could be available in some stable update of MiUi 10, if not the next and users would not have to wait for MiUi 11 or Android Q to try the feature. The feature was seen tested on MiUi 10 Global Beta version 9.2.14 and later.
