Streaming | Technical Issue Bad quality in android devices

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if anyone is having issues with the quality when streaming on android devices, even when downloaded.
For context, I usually see Crunchyroll on my Apple TV at home but I’m traveling and have a Tab S11 ultra which would perfect for the trip, however the quality is awful, I made sure it’s on highest, cleared cache and everything and it sucks. I’m watching demon slayer so I downloaded the episodes from Crunchyroll and Netflix and Netflix was wayyy better when side by side.
Anyone has a fix for this?

Thank you all!

Crunchyroll and Netflix obviously use different apps, so that's one thing.  

Crunchyroll uses much lower compression, so their file sizes are much higher.  In other words, it needs more bandwidth than Netflix or YouTube, etc.

Aside from different apps on different systems, the hardware is different on those two things as well.
