Netflix recently added the Sony Xperia XZ smartphone to the list of those able to play back high-definition video in HDR.
High-dynamic range content offers better contrast than standard content. The only other handset capable of supporting Netflix HDR is the LG G6. Both the G6 and Xperia XZ have the needed HDR displays.
In order to view HDR content on either phone, owners have to subscribe to the $12 premium Netflix plan (streaming on four screens and ultra HD resolution). They’ll also have to ensure the latest version of the app is installed on their phone, and select “high definition” for video playback quality.
