OnePlus' Fix for HD Streaming: Send In Your Smartphone

The past year or so hasn't felt like the smoothest sailing for smartphone manufacturer OnePlus. Take away the problems that are mostly the company's issues —which includes a bout of stolen credit card information, potential backdoors that could allow hackers to access almost every OnePlus device, and privacy issues surrounding its smartphones' data collection capabilities—and you're left with the smartphones themselves, which have some pecularities of their own.

If you're the proud owner of a OnePlus 5$479.00 at OnePlus or OnePlus 5T$499.00 at OnePlus, you've probably felt a little frustrated that your device can't stream HD content. Pick a service—Netflix, Google Play, Amazon Prime, etc.—and roll the dice. If the service uses the Widevine Level 1 DRM to protect its content, that won't jive with either smartphone, which only supports Widevine Level 3 for SD content.

OnePlus now has a fix to enable HD streaming, but there's a bit of a catch. You can't upgrade your device or otherwise install this fix yourself. OnePlus has to do it for you.
