Content consumption is the primary use case of many smartphone users. This can be on a variety of streaming platforms – Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Hotstar and others. To give you a great content viewing experience, some streaming platforms offer HDR content, which is only viewable on specific devices which support HDR content, and have HDR-enabled screens. So, if you are a content buff and want to catch all the latest episodes in the best possible quality, here are some of the best phones that support HDR streaming on Netflix.
The Apple iPhone 12 Pro is a great all-round phone with an impressive set of features. It has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR HDR-enabled display, which is large enough to appreciate every detail in TV shows and movies. The panel makes for crisp details and rich colours, irrespective of the platform, no matter what you’re watching. This is also highly beneficial for video creators. The large screen can also enhance productivity for professionals who need to view data sheets on the go. Some users may find the large phone a bit unwieldy, but the rich screen is something that you’ll grow to love. The phone is certified for use with the Netflix app to view Dolby Vision HDR content.
This is one of the most viable phones to pick up, no matter the kind of usage you expect to get out of it. It has a 6.7-inch 120Hz refresh rate panel, which is large and fast, making the most out of action movies and mobile video games. The screen is curved at the edges, making it seem larger and more premium. The curved screens enhance the viewing experience of content on this screen as it appears to extend to the corners seamlessly – the removal of bezels makes for a more immersive experience. The display is HDR compliant, and the phone supports HDR content streaming on Netflix. The large battery makes for hours and hours of uninterrupted content consumption.
As far as display quality goes, this is one of the most immersive screens you can get – the phone has a 6.2-inch dynamic AMOLED display. Readers should note that the screen is entirely flat, which may not seem extremely premium, but is a dream to use, and the vividness of the screen makes for more rich content viewing compared to other phones in the price range. If you’re a power user and are accustomed to a specific colour palette, you can go ahead and change the screen settings to get the visuals that you desire. When viewing HDR content on Netflix and YouTube, the phone ramps up the visual fidelity and gives you an unmatched experience.
On a budget, this is a neat HDR-enabled phone with a host of other tricks up its sleeve. The screen is a large 6.56-inch AMOLED panel, which is detailed and vibrant and happens to be curved at the sides, making for more immersive content viewing. The curves come into play in everyday use of the phone too – it makes it appear as if content floats off the screen, and that is one of the major benefits of having slim bezels hidden by the curve. Naturally, this extends to content consumption and makes for more engaging viewing.
