How can I test if my phone uses hardware decoding for AV1?
apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parseus.codecinfo (https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.parseus.codecinfo) show whether or not you’ve got it, on my samsung galaxy note 20 ultra I’ve got software only :(
Let me save you some time, it doesn’t. I have no idea what Google is thinking, very few phones have it right now.
