The company announced that the future portable Android devices with the company’s Snapdragon CPUs will have native support for streaming movies and TV shows from Netflix. If that wasn’t good enough, it was also mentioned that the Netflix app will be easy on the battery life as well, since efficient dedicated hardware will be handling the video decoding, something that smartphone users will be happy to hear, since battery life in powerful devices has been an issue for a long time. The Netflix certification is also granted to the device, thanks to Snapdragon’s dynamic performance and media protection features.
