Netflix usually certifies devices such as laptops, PCs, media streaming boxes, smartphones, tablets, and TVs to allow them to play HD and HDR videos. Usually, the certification happens prior to their launch or soon after they reach buyers. However, it has taken a while for it to list the Google Pixel 5a, Google Pixel 6, and the Google Pixel 6 Pro.
Things finally appear to have changed for good. though, as the Pixel recent update on the Netflix support pages has included these three devices, and all three devices finally have support for HD and HDR playback through Netflix.
Google Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, and Pixel 6 Pro Finally Support HD & HDR Video Playback On Netflix
In a recent update, Netflix has certified the Google Pixel 5a 5G, Google Pixel 6, and Google Pixel 6 Pro as HDR-capable devices. However, if you already have HD and HDR support on your Pixel 5a, 6, or 6 Pro and wondering what this means, this is mere confirmation from Netflix that you can enjoy watching high-definition content with High Dynamic Range on your device.
Some users have recently complained on Reddit that their Pixel 6 devices are still not supporting HDR content. It is rather unclear at the moment whether the existing problems have been fixed or are yet to be resolved. Netflix has still not added Google Tensor to the ‘Compatible Chipsets’ section, which is rather strange.
What are your thoughts on the Google Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, and Pixel 6 Pro receiving Netflix HD and HDR playback support? Do you use any of these smartphones? Let us know in the comments section below.
