Visually-Enhanced Streaming Features : mobile hdr support

Netflix has debuted a new update that brings mobile HDR support to its Android application. This update launched on January 14th, 2022, and allows users who have either the Google Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, or Pixel 5A, to use ‘High Dynamic Range’ (HDR) on the Netflix app.

HDR is a feature that allows for a more clear display through the use of color clarity, contrast, and brightness control, to create a picture that is visually stunning. With high-quality HDR, black colors are darker, bright elements on screen such as lamps are brighter, and the entire experience feels more true-to-life and immersive. This is an excellent feature to bring to mobile devices as HDR is typically only available on high-end monitors and televisions.
