Netflix lanza aplicación para usar menos datos de smartphones

Posted on by

Netflix lanzó este jueves una nueva aplicación para que sus usuarios consuman menos datos de los teléfonos inteligentes al momento de ver sus series, en un intento por fomentar el uso de dispositivos móviles sin que implique un gasto excesivo para sus clientes, dijo la plataforma de streaming este jueves.

"El ajuste predeterminado permite transmitir cerca de tres horas de series y películas por gigabyte de datos", el equivalente a 600 kilobits por segundo.

"Esperamos que esta herramienta sirva para mejorar la experiencia móvil con Netflix", dijo la empresa.
