    AWOTE, 18 Apr 2021That is not correct. Without Widevine L1 you can only wat... moreNot strictly true. Even with Widevine 1 you are not guaranteed HD support. Netflix uses an archaic whitelist system for which devices can receive HD content or not. So even if your phone has Widevine 1 and a HD or greater screen you will only receive HD on Netflix if your device is on their whitlist.

    A perfect example would be the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. This phone had a HD screen and HDR support but only a couple of the model numbers were in the whitelist. The latest Huawei all have Widevine 1 and yet only get SD content on Netflix as Netflix refuses to add them to their list.

      Without Widevine L1 you can only watch in SD-Quality.

      After a little research on the net i found several people claiming their Xiaomi Mi 11Lite 4G's have Widevine L1.
      It seems like the reviewers got a different model.

While Gandalf is wise, you on the other hand just showed us your total lack of knowledge with that comment. I suggest you go stay in the Amish village if you afraid of spyware.

                      Xiaomi give you great hardware for very little money, but they also give you plenty of very sophisticated spyware... that comes free, for no extra money at all!

                        So the more power hungry 780 has better battery life than this 732


                        Man the 732 is a real joke man

I myself have a Poco F1, but there are ROMs available for a lot of Xiaomi phones.

                                Are there different kind of Mi 11 Lite 4G? Because mine does have a SD Card Slot and also Widevine L1.
                                It is the EU Version though

                                  From the hardware specs this is a dream phone for me. Unfortunately the MIUI isn't my cup of tea. I'd rush to buy it if it were an Android One phone.

Not possible to buy the 5G-versionen yet. Besides, I think the price difference will be larger than the €70$/70 stated on some sites. In reality, I expect that differnece to be more like €100-€150.

                                        Anybody buying this phone instead of the 5g model is simply insane.
