Also what's the battery life like on this?
Assume it runs on Android as well?
I've also got my eye on the Lenovo P11 Pro Gen 2... that also suffers the same HDR issue, though a fix has been pushed out to China firmware models, waiting for Global rollout... Lenovo aren't great with support but they've developed a fix within 2 months of launch... not sure that Xiaomi have fixed this issue after a year.

Can anyone who owns it talk about their experience with it for HDR video content?
Only thing holding me off because I know Xiaomi's hardware is great value and it'll blow away other tablets in the same price range in most other aspects.
Netflix update their whitelist every 3 months, hense why every OEM has had issues with service.
Checking the HDR performance on YouTube, there doesn't seem to be any issues on that platform.
I know there are various standards for stylus depending on brand etc. Is it Xiaomi's own standards as opposed to a generic stylus standard. (edited)
Hope I don't end up regretting black Friday thou as these codes last up till the end of the month too, hopefully they'll let you use the codes along with black Friday deals then. Hopefully I haven't lost too much too lol (edited)
Will black friday deals likely beat this?
Widevine is a proprietary DRM solution from Google that's used by many popular streaming services to prevent content privacy. There are three Widevine security levels: L1, L2, and L3. In order for a device to support full HD and above streaming, it must support L1.

So just to clarify GOOGLE write and own the security code.
This means if your device has not been whitelisted by Netflix it can not access Ultra HD services, if it has not been entered properly you can not access HDR content. The whitelist is updated once every three months, so it is very unwise to base your purchase Netflix compatability the system has proved itself not fit for purpose.
This is the best Tab under £300 with 13 beta and custom rom support. No doubt the devs have looked at the latest attempt from Google to patch the issue and now have standalone solutions.
For example, the POCO F3 (Redmi K40) is not listed on the Netflix support page for devices that support HDR, however, HDR works perfectly on my son's POCO F3 and is reported in reviews as working. I believe the list published on the Netflix help page is only a list of devices that they certify will work, not a list of the only devices that will work (there are certainly articles online that refer to Netflix having a list of certified devices).
If it truly was a whitelist, then Netflix HDR would not work on the POCO F3. Much like PC memory... motherboard manufacturers publish compatibility lists for memory modules - they have tested and confirm full compatibility for those modules tested, but many other memory sticks will work perfectly.
Asked Xiaomi for help on Twitter but they did not respond
Judging by the black Friday promo photo images there may be a deal coming on the Redmi Pad 6 at some point soon so thinking I will hold out for that - although not as high spec it has a SD card slot and will likely get more updates with being a newer product. (edited)
