Netflix is arguably one of the best streaming platforms available worldwide. The service can be accessed on a wide variety of devices with a display. But the OEMs require a license to support the app on their devices. Hence, not all Android smartphones can stream in HD or HDR quality.
Above all, not all companies disclose whether their phones support Netlfix. Customers can only know about it by installing the application themselves. But thankfully, Netflix has a dedicated page on its website with a list of supported devices.
This list has been now updated with the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S21 series, a bunch of OPPO smartphones, and a TCL handset.
According to the update list, Netlfix can be now streamed in HD and HDR on the following phones.
- Netflix HD
- OPPO A73
- OPPO A93
- OPPO F17
- OPPO F17 Pro
- OPPO Reno4
- OPPO Reno4 F
- OPPO Reno4 Lite
- OPPO Reno4 5G
- OPPO Reno4 Pro 5G
- Netflix HDR
- Samsung Galaxy S21 5G
- Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G
- Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
- OPPO Reno4 Pro
- TCL 20 5G
It is interesting to know that only the 4G variant of OPPO Reno4 Pro supports Netflix HDR although the 4G variant has the exact same display. Also, all the OPPO handsets listed above are on sale for months but they have received Netlfix certification only now.
On the other hand, the TCL 20 5G launched only last month and the Galaxy S21 series just hit the shelves today.
