Huawei is now rolling out a new software update for Huawei Mate 20 Pro and P20 pro users. Which includes Netflix HD and HDR support.

As per change-log, the Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro with support for Netflix HD and HDR standards now users will be able to watch content at 720p or higher resolution, as opposed to 540p, which was the standard for these phones until recently.

According to The Mobile Indian reports, both phones have the hardware to run Netflix content in HD and HDR quality, they were initially equipped with Widevine L3 support, the lowest standard in security. Widevine is a DRM standard that allows Google to authorize devices to stream content at the highest quality.

The update started rolling out in India earlier today, but it’s likely to expand to more territories in the coming days.
