Razer Phone update now rolling out with HDR and Dolby 5.1 for Netflix, other improvements

Razer Phone hands-on

Remember that Razer Phone update with HDR and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 for Netflix that was announced earlier this month? Well it's now rolling out.

Razer has confirmed that today it released the update for the Razer Phone that it announced earlier in January. This update adds support for HDR and Dolby 5.1 audio for Netflix as well as the Netflix app itself.

Keep in mind that in order to take advantage of HDR, you will need to be subscribed to Netflix's Premium plan, which is priced at $13.99 per month and includes Ultra HD, HDR, and the ability to stream to up to four screens at once.

Also included in this new Razer Phone update are the January 2018 Android security patches, which include fixes for the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. There are some camera improvements in there, too, like a fix for a bug that'd cause some images to appear yellow, some tuning and image quality improvements, and other miscellaneous bug fixes.

Razer has updated theme icons to a dark style as well.

This 249MB update is now rolling out. Some users in Razer's official forums have started receiving the update, but it hasn't hit everyone's phones quite yet. If you've got a Razer Phone and haven't gotten the update yet, stay patient and keep an eye out for it over the coming days.
