The display is bright, and the sunlight legibility is good as well. It has 90Hz refresh rate, but you need to go to intelligent assistance option in settings and enable high-speed refresh option.
The phone doesn’t have Widevine L1 certification, and only has Widevine L3 certification, so it only supports SD video playback in streaming sites, but you can play videos up to 1440p on YouTube. The company has confirmed to us that it will get Widevine L1 support in an update in the future. Netflix doesn’t show up on Google Play search, so you have to install the APK manually. Hope the company fixes this as well in the update.
