Both the Huawei Mate 20 and the P20 Pro are flagships coming in from the Chinese manufacturer, Huawei, and while both the phones go on to support a hugely premium design along with a best-in-class camera experience, it came as a bit of a surprise when we came to know that neither of the flagships had support for Netflix HD and HDR content.
Even though both the phones came with the support for HDR and Full HD content, neither one of them were able to stream HD videos from online streaming services, and this included the likes of services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, as well as YouTube amongst others. This occurred due to the fact that both the phones lacked the support for Widevine L1 certification.
