Redmi Note 8 Pro Can’t Play HD Content from Netflix And Prime Video, But It Can Be Fixed with an Update

The report from FrAndroid says that MyCanal, which is also a video streaming service, recognizes the Redmi Note 8 Pro to have Widevine L1 certification, and it streams HD videos on the device without any problem. And it further confirms that Redmi Note 8 Pro indeed has Widevine L1 certification.

Now, the reason behind Netflix and Prime Video recognizing the Redmi Note 8 Pro to have Widevine L3 certification is unknown at the moment. It is most probably a software glitch. If so, the issue can be solved through a software update.

Currently, we don’t know if this issue is limited to French devices, or all the Redmi Note 8 Pro handsets are flawed with the issue. According to the report, FrAndroid has asked for a comment to Xiaomi, Netflix, and Prime Video, but they are yet to receive a reply.
