Netflix supports HDR streaming on a limited set of Android devices, testing and adding new phones to the list over a period of time. You can view the updated list here.
To stream content in HDR, you need the version 5.0 or higher of the Netflix app for Android, and a compatible device from the list.
You also need to subscribe to a plan that supports streaming in Ultra HD, which would cost you Rs 649 per month and let you stream in 4K and HDR. Netflix recommends an internet connection with a speed of 25 megabits per second or higher.
Netflix supports the Dolby Vision and HDR10 formats for HDR, and besides Android, also offers support for iPhone models 4 and higher, iPad (first generation) or higher and iPod Touch 3rd generation or higher.
As for TVs, you need to make sure you have a Smart TV with support for Dolby Vision or HDR10 with your streaming device connected to a HDMI 1 port that supports HDCP 2.2 or later.
