Huawei P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro now support Netflix in HD

During the second half of 2018 there was great controversy surrounding the support of several top-end smartphones for Netflix HD streaming playback. Or rather, the controversy arose because many of them did not support this functionality.

Now, through a new update, both Huawei P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro have finally been able to support the playback of HD videos on Netflix. In addition, they also support HDR content. This new possibility arises thanks to the implementation of support for Widevine L1.

There were many complaints from users, who were surprised to buy their new top of the range, and faced with the restriction on Netflix. You can only watch videos with a maximum resolution of 540p. Certainly, this was not the multimedia experience they expected from top-end smartphones.

Quite surprisingly, both the Huawei P20 Pro and the Mate 20 Pro were released with support for Widevine L3. This is the lowest level in terms of safety. As a result, they were unable to take advantage of their fantastic Netflix streaming screens.
