Samsung Galaxy S10 phones officially support Netflix HDR10 video
August 24, 2025
Even though theSamsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and S10earen’t yet available to the general public, Netflixquietly addedHDR10 certification for all three phones.
This is good news for those that want to take advantage of the Galaxy S10 phones’Dynamic OLEDdisplays, which are the first smartphone displays to support HDR10+. Whereas HDR10 features a set metadata channel, HDR10+ features a dynamic metadata channel with a variable midpoint of the dynamic range. The metadata is then used to adjust brightness levels on a scene-by-scene or frame-by-frame basis more accurately.
However, we don’t have a firm idea of how much Netflix content supports the HDR10+ standard. We should see such content show up more on Netflix over time, thanks to 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. agreeing to support the HDR10+ standard.
Before you play HDR10 content on your Galaxy S10, verify you have the latest version of Netflix installed — HDR10 content on Netflix won’t play on an older version of the app.
In related news, Netflix also added HD certification for the Galaxy S10 phones and the lower-end Galaxy M-series phones — the latter include theGalaxy M10, M20, andM30. Netflix added HD certification for theQualcomm Snapdragon 675,710, and855processors.
Any devices that feature the three aforementioned processors will support Netflix in HD resolution out of the box. That is unless your device doesn’t supportWidevine L1.
