These are the best phones to watch Netflix series and movies
Table of contents:
Netflix is available on Android phones and tablets running Android 2.3 or higher. However, the current version of the Netflix app requires Android version 5.0 or later. Despite this, Not all eligible phones can stream Netflix content in HD The reason is that for this to be possible, phones must comply with a certification and there are many devices on the market that do not have it.Something similar happens with HDR content, although this is less common as there are fewer compatible mobiles.
Hence, from time to time, we see news that talks about the certification of new mobile devices for Netflix. Well, today is one of those days, since four new models can now play Netflix content in HD Specifically, the four new mobile phones that have received the certification are the Asus ROG Phone II, the Asus ZenFone 6 and the latest two TCL releases, the TCL 10L and the TCL 10 Pro
These four phones can now play Netflix content in the highest resolution supported by your screen. In addition, the Asus ROG Phone II and TCL 10L also support HDR10 on Netflix.
These are Netflix-certified mobile phones
However, you may be thinking when reading this news, and how do I know if my mobile can play Netflix content in HD? Well, it turns out that we can find a list of mobile phones that support Netflix in HD and HDR10 on the Netflix website.
Specifically you can find the list in the section “How to use Netflix on your Android tablet or phone” of the web help page. Here you have the link.
Once on the page you will see two options: Netflix in HD and Netflix in HDR If you click on them, a list of manufacturers is displayed of mobiles and tablets, which in turn you can unfold to see the models compatible with the reproduction of content in HD and HDR10.
If your mobile is not on the list, you should know two important things. There are some processors that support Netflix HD and HDR10, including a wide range of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors. Among them are, for example, the common Snapdragon 630 and Snapdragon 865. But be careful, because your mobile has one of these chips does not guarantee that it is compatible with HD playback of Netflix content.However, you have more options than if the mobile has another type of processor.
On the other hand, we must also take into account that some providers limit the resolution of video transmission via mobile data to a quality of 480pThis happens even if our mobile is compatible with Netflix HD or HDR10, since it is not something that depends on the manufacturer or Netflix. Of course, when we are in a WiFi connection we should be able to watch Netflix in HD and HDR10 if our mobile is compatible.
