People who like ink black and bright highlights rejoice. Netflix now officially lists HDR support for the Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro and the more affordable 5A. Here's a support page for the streaming giant discovered by 9to5Google, which appears to have been updated sometime after Jan. 14. The update also seems to list these phones as those that support HD services.
This update should mean that users of Google's latest smartphones won't have any problems watching HDR or HD content on Netflix. While streaming services often list new devices as compatible on the day they are released, such as the Galaxy S21 series, there are occasional cases where support is not listed until very late, such as the OnePlus 8.
It's not entirely clear why Netflix hasn't listed HDR or HD support on the Pixel 6 series until now, but shortly after the phone's release, users on Reddit reported that their phones didn't seem to be able to play the service's HDR content properly. However, the problem doesn't seem to be widespread, with other Reddit users reporting that they were able to watch Netflix's HDR content on Their Pixel 6 devices from day one without problems. Hopefully, this update means that the feature should now be effective for everyone.
