Netflix has already confirmed its plans to launch a cheaper, ad-supported plan due to its shrinking subscriber base. Besides ads as a drawback, the plan is expected to come with more restrictions, a recent report suggests. Here's what you can expect.
4 things to know about Netflix's cheaper plan with ads!
According to the code for the Netflix app (courtesy of Steve Moser), the ad-supported plan will not support offline viewing, a feature available to the other existing Netflix plans. This may come as a disappointment to many as many rely on the functionality to easily stream their favorite movies and shows even when the internet is spotty.
It is also revealed that the plan will support 480p resolution, which for today is not the best for a good viewing experience. That said, the Rs 149 and Rs 199 Netflix plans also support SD resolution, so that doesn't really come as a surprise.
To recall, the Rs 499 Standard plan supports HD resolution, while the Rs 649 Premium plan gets support for HD and UHD screen resolutions. Both support 2 and 4 simultaneous screen display respectively.
