After June security patch update on A50s,  Videos are not streaming and downloading in HD resolution on Amazon prime video and Netflix.  Netflix is displaying Widevine L3 certification. And hardware acceleration which is required to stream HD videos is not visible on Amazon prime video  Even though galaxy A50s has Widevine L1 certification out of box.  Samsung fix this bug as soon as possible

Its not a bug, they deliberately disabled the L1 certificate don't know for what reason and god knows will they bring it back or not. They are also not clearing this doubt when asked.
we can only ask and pressurise them to enable the L1 certification.

I don't thinkthat L1 certification has been removed.
I contacted both Samsung and Amazon regarding the same.
Both said that they to restrict internet usage, Amazon and Netflix and other Otts have reduced streaming to 480p.
This has been done in the wake of rising Covid-19 cases.

Lol.. Still talking about restrictions? What about this? Though I'm a M30s user I also have same issue like him.

Check my dedicated post to know dates of restrictions lifted.
