Stupid ineffective DRMs. Name ONE DRM that actually works flawlessly. Oops ya can't. It's so darn easy to find Netflix and Amazon WEB-DLs and WEBRips very fast after they are made available (WEBRips are screengrabs ironically). Forget games. Stuff like Denuvo gets broken in no time it becomes pathetic.

LTE-A, 4-Band carrier aggregation, Cat.16/13 (1Gbps/150Mbps);
USB-C;

Bluetooth 5.0;
FM radio
UFS 2.1 storage up to 256 GB
LPDDR4X RAM up to 8 GB
12 MP f.1.9 Dual Pixel PDAF
These are $700+ Specs. Look again. DRM is something that shouldn't affect a phone... You have to pay more in order to not copy content which you weren't going to anyway.

I don't watch movies on such a small screen so this isn't a huge issue but obviously wish it could be fixed if possible. That said I don't regret getting this phone one bit. Most people hating this phone call are narrow minded people who haven't even tried but have biased pre conceived notions who have never even tried this phone.

Don't know who to blame Xiaomi of DRM. The latter seems more like a culprit here as always.

AnonD-641645, 30 Aug 2018But why would you want to watch HD on s 6" screen?With streaming resolution is almost a secondary concern - bitrate has a bigger impact on image quality. And sub-HD videos have very low bitrate.

Really? I never even noticed this on my OP5. I guess there is not need of HD on mobile screens after-all. Looking forward to trying out Poco F1 soon!
