Netflix is testing its Mobile+ Plan in India

This is not the first time Netflix is testing out a plan like this in India. In July last year, the streaming platform launched the exact same plan but at a higher price point of Rs 349. The test was soon discontinued considering users didn’t find value in it. Now, Netflix is testing the plan with a new name – Mobile+ and a lower denomination of Rs 299 to see if it works this time around.

As mentioned before, the Netflix Mobile+ plan will offer users access to 1080p content on the platform on mobile as well as computer devices including PC, Mac, and Chromebook. Currently, the plan is not available to all as the company is testing it out with select few customers to see if it works, and will only then roll it out widely.

Upon reaching out to Netflix, a spokesperson said, “We launched the mobile plan in India to make it easier for anyone with a smartphone to enjoy Netflix. We want to see if members like the added choice Mobile+ brings. We’ll only roll it out long-term if they do.”

Notably, Netflix users in India watch more on their mobile device compared to Netflix users around the world. This prompted the streaming platform to launch the mobile plan at Rs 199 a month in July 2019 and now start testing the Rs 299 Mobile+ plan.

The Rs 199 Netflix Mobile plan is the most basic offering from the streaming platform. It lets users stream in 480p on a single device, which can be either a phone or a tablet. The Rs 299 Mobile+ plan bumps up the resolution to 1080p and also brings support for computer devices including PC, Mac, and Chromebook apart from mobile and tablet.

The Rs 499 Netflix Basic plan is ideal for those who want an affordable plan to watch content on all devices including mobile, tablet, computer, and TV. However, the plan offers streaming in 480p resolution only.
