support for hd streaming in amazon prime video and netflix

[surajprasad87]

please provide support for full hd streaming in amazon prime video and netflix. all other phone in this price range support this basic function but asus 6z does not. what is the use of widevine l1 when ur not able to use it. it is dissapointing.

Maybe the screen doesn't support it. If I am correct it's the LCD screen?

Could be. It is an LCD screen. I'm ok without it, but would "want" it if it's possible.
Edit - per specs on gsmarena, the screen is 16M colors (edit - same as ROG II), which I think means 8bit HD video. I believe HDR takes much more (at least 10-bit video does). Beyond my expertise.

On Rog 2 it's 10 bit HDR, as you can see in my screenshot.

HDR support on Netflix is dependent on many factors.
Not just the bitdepth of the panel but also contrast ratios, and validation.

ZenFone 6 does not support Netflix HDR.

So atlast please make it clear@CH_ASUS
You are saying that only full HD(1080p) is supported on amazon and netflix for zenfone 6 and not HDR.
Am i correct? If i am correct please tell why it is not supported even though the screen is HDR i used many apps to test it. all shows the screen is HDR supported.
Is there any chance of getting it in future or not?

I am not sure where you perceive the information is unclear?

Based on May 15, 2020;
Netflix HD streaming - works (check HD logo)*
Amazon Prime Video streaming HD - works*

*you may need the relevant subscription tariff.

Netflix HDR - Not supported on ZenFone 6. I would not expect this to change with any update as it is not update dependent.
