With the latest update to the Netflix app for Android, now Sony Xperia XZ Premium users will be able to enjoy the best content in HDR taking advantage of its magnificent screen with 4K quality.
The Japanese firm Sony impressed the sector last February with the launch of its new flagship "Premium", and not only because it was the first phone on the market powered by a Snapdragon 835 processor, but because it was the world's first smartphone with a 4K display with HDR support. Obviously, HDR support is of little use without HDR content available, but now this will no longer be a problem with Netflix.
Netflix has announced recently that Sony's flagship phablet, The Sony Xperia XZ Premium, will be the next device capable of playing HDR content from Netflix. And in case you have any questions, in addition to this Sony model, the only other smartphone capable of playing Netflix content in HDR is the LG G6, which supports Dolby Vision.
Although the streaming audiovisual content giant has not confirmed it yet, given that the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus also integrate HDR support, it would not be too surprising if the current Samsung flagships were the next to join this select club.
El Sony Xperia XZ Premium offers one of the best mobile screens out there right now: 5,5-inch 4K Triluminos with HDR10 support. With compatibility with Netflix HDR, the terminal now takes full advantage of the screen's capabilities while viewing compatible content: colors appear more intense and vivid and contrast is greater. To do this, it is necessary to have the latest version of the firmware on the device, the latest version of the Netflix application, as well as a Netflix subscription for 4 screens (which gives access to this quality) for €11,99/month, although it is rumored that the company could raise its price plans.
Have you tried watching Netflix in HDR on your Xperia XZ Premium? Do you notice the difference?
