Netflix has expanded the list of phones that support their HDR streaming today, bringing the total number of phones supported it up to ten.  The Huawei Mate 10 Pro and the P20 have been added today along with the Sony Xperia XZ2.  All three of these phones have HDR compatible displays.

Given that more manufactures are enabling HDR displays on their devices, the list supported devices will likely grow over the course of this year.

After weeks of rumors and leaks, the Huawei P20 and P20 Plus have finally been officially announced by the Chinese manufacture.  The two new phones follow up on last year’s P10 lineup and they both bring some serious specs to the table.

Both devices are powered by the Huawei Kirin 970 SoC, the same one used in the larger Mate 10 Pro.  The P20 comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage while the P20 Plus will sport 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage.  Neither device supports memory expansion, just like the Mate 10 Pro.

Huawei has begun sending out press invites to an event being held on March 27 in Paris.  The event is likely the launch event for the follow up to last year’s P10, the Huawei P20.  The invite does not specifically call out the P20 but only references “new flagship devices”.  Given that the Mate 10 Pro has already been announced, the P20 is the logical answer to what will be shown at the event.

Not much is known about the Huawei P20.  Rumors suggest it will have a triple rear camera configuration and will likely be powered by the new Kirin 970, the Huawei built SoC that powers the Mate 10 Pro.  There will also likely be three devices in the lineup:  The P20, P20 Light and P20 Plus.
