Netflix continues to add new features to its mobile app. It just recently brought a new audio-only mode that lets you listen to a movie or series in the background. And now, Netflix has upgraded the audio experience to make the content sound better on Android devices.
The second point makes a significant difference in many countries, especially one like India. The codec offers a variable bitrate for audio streaming. This means your audio output will adjust depending on your Android phone’s Internet connection. “xHE-AAC streams deliver studio-quality audio when network conditions allow, and minimize rebuffers when the network is congested,” says Netflix in the blog post.
Ultimately, this minor upgrade will enable a lot of users across the globe, especially those with spotty Internet services, to experience better audio quality on Netflix.
