After reading the article on playing Netflix videos in HD and checking DRM Info, it appears out device isn't L1 certified. Since this is a software issue, we should ask Xiaomi to certify the phone since it's free.

Hey guys,
I know we all are suffering from the ignorance and arrogance of mobile companies for not enbaling camera2api on there product. Thus we have to go under a long process to enable it and even it is sometimes impossible on some models(e.g. Redmi note for on MIUI10). Thus I have started a petition to request Mi to enable Camera2api by default on their mobiles by pushing an OTA.
Please sign and spread.
Together we can make this happen.

That’s pretty quick: Xiaomi Mi 9T said to get Android 10 next month
The Xiaomi Mi 9T (or Redmi K20) is one of the better mid-range smartphones on the market right now, available in China, Europe, India, and several other regions.
Fortunately, it seems like you won’t have to wait too long to get Android 10 on your device, as Xiaomi told AusDroid that the Mi 9T will receive the update in October.
That’s a pretty quick turnaround time for Android 10 compared to other manufacturers, although the Redmi K20 series has apparently received the update in China already.

Android 10 review: The most personal Android yet
We’re glad to see Xiaomi reportedly slap a launch window on the update though, and it means they’ll be part of the first wave of Android OEMs to offer Android 10. The update will bring a system-wide dark mode, Smart Reply for messaging apps, overhauled privacy controls, and security updates via the Play Store.
I had emailed to xiaomi global services and requested them to enable camera2 api feature by default in future updates, the email and their answer are in the attached pics and below:
Email:
Hello
I'm using mi a2 and suffering lack of camera2 api feature. I don't want to unlock and flash my phone due to bricking risk. So please enable camera2 api on Mi A2 by default, or at least inform us to wait fo feature or not.
Another thing is mi a2 secondary rear camera. It has PDAF and can do a better and smoother auto focus than main camera while video recording. (Main camera beating on auto focus). If that is possible please enable video recording by secondary rear camera on default camera app and other apps as photo shooting is enabled in camera app manual mode.
Xiaomi answer:
Dear Customer,
Greetings from Xiaomi Escalation Desk.
This is to inform you that Mi A2 uses native Google system, none of these default Settings have been changed,
and it is not recommended to change them manually, which may cause some system exception.
Thank you for being a valued customer.
Thanks & Regards,
Saif Ulla
Xiaomi Escalation Desk
Is seems they have no plan to enable it
Ah, I actually ripped my ass off on that,I sent them emails about Camera2 API, Created a bug report in Google AOSP website, even started a Twitter campaign and replied to every single tweet from Xiaomi with #ARCore_For_Mi_A2 and also #Camera2_API_For_Mi_A2. In emails they said they look into my suggestion which is basically the thing that companies do when people are asking them for an issue and they just want to get rid of it, And I went through a lot of pain being on Twitter doing that campaign because I was bored due to the massive amount of curses people were just saying to me and you know at the end Xiaomi actually blocked me from replying to their tweets so I pulled myself out of that game. According to papers Google forces OEMs on Enabling Camera2 API on devices shipped with Android pie and higher, Xiaomi wants to keep the amount of features in it's A series at minimum. Doesn't matter if it's just a simple API or ARCore or NFC, Xiaomi doesn't care about It's A series and tries to offer nothing more than what it's obligated to do from Google as an Android One OEM.
Xiaomeme is a good Hardware Company with bad Software, exactly opposite of Google.
Basically Xiaomeme's strategy is updating Android version and adding no features to it's Android One devices and Adding features and not updating the Android version on it's MIUI devices.

What is the ARcore for? And why is it important on this device?

Augmented Reality
For example you can stand next to a growling Hulk in a movie you shoot, or play games where space ships fly through your living room.

Thanks! Just wondering if SXD670 is powerful enough to run this?

Well I did use ARCore on MI A2 so it runs. (In case you are wondering, there is a way to enable ARCore if you have Magisk but discussing it here will be going OT)
Hi all, I just bought the Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus (TB-X606F) and read about the widevine L3 problem. It's been a problem since day 1 the tablet was released. It seems like there was firmware updates last year that solved the problem, changing widevine from L1 to L3 and finally users can watch HD quality on Netflix and other streaming platforms? Can any current users or Lenovo confirm that it is true and it is possible to watch HD with this device on netflix/prime/hbo/disney now? If not I'll need to return it, I haven't open and use the tablet yet.
Why don't you ask the support directly from the manufacturer???
