hi, from the specs this chipset should have HEVC support up to 4kp60.
It doesnt say if it supports 10bit or not
The strange this is by probing : HEVCMainTierLevel41=true or false, we get a false, which will imply that the chipset/OS combo doesnt even support [email protected]
The only HEVC im able to HW decode is sub SD resolution..
Any idea why and when the HEVC decode abilities was crippled ?

I'm deciding if I would buy the KEYOne and I want to know the device support hardware decode for 10-bit HEVC videos.

instead of searching if the device support h.265...
just check if snapdragon 625 supports it or not.
and it does according to this:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/625
It DOES. But it does not specify if its just 8bit or 10bit, regardless, always search by the processor instead of the device.
From wiki, only Snapdragon 820 and up specify supporting 4k 10bit hevc hw decoding
As the title says, I wanna ask if the Axon 7 Mini supports 10-bit H264 hardware decoding. I'm not entirely sure, but according to Kodi's wiki on Android Hardware (not saying this is the most credible source, but I couldn't find anywhere else anyways), the mini does have HW decode for both H264 and H265, but without any notes, implying it can do up to 10bit I'd assume. If it DOES actually support 10bit, is there a way to make use of it? I have no luck with MXPlayer so far.
Hi @auxillium,
Could you tell me what's the 10-bit H264 hardware decoding? Is it a kind of flash or root? Pls forgive my ignoreness.
Thanks in advance!

It's for playing videos. 10bit is the color depth and H264 is the format. Hardware decoding is when there's a dedicated chip for doing a certain task, which is often faster than having it done by the CPU itself. In this case, I'm asking if the Axon 7 Mini's chip is capable of hardware decoding videos of the format H264, with 10bit color depth.
hi i am thinking of buying this phone does this phone supports playing 1080 10bit hevc files with hardware decoding
Not comprehensive, but did grab a bunch of samples with some key differences (264/265 8/10 bit, 1080p/2160p, 60FPS) just to see what this stick could handle. My test bed was MX Player with the all-in-one decoder pack.
Smooth Playback via HW/HW+
- h.264 8bit 1080p
- x.265 8bit 1080p
- x.265 10bit 2160p
- x.265 10bit 2160p 60FPS
SW only
- h.264 10bit 1080p (LOTS OF DROPPED FRAMES - yuck)
Conclusions
Great hardware decoding, but CPU not strong enough for SW-h.264/10bit (a semi-popular anime format). I'm not sure if any SoC supports this in HW, but so far it seems like only high-end SoCs can handle this in SW (I have a Kirin 660 device which does a good job).
Thank for sharing your results.
These are very different from my testing.
I have multiple issues with playback, very annoying.
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78329629&postcount=5
Do you have these problems also? Or do I have a corrupt stick?
The MX devs replied stating that media server process has died during playback, forcing MX to try a different playback modus. And that they probably cant solve it.
It seems so weird to me, since then everybody should have these issues.
According to this the Fire 8 HD Plus (2020) has the Mali-G52 MC1 GPU:
https://www.gsmarena.com/amazon_fire_hd_8_plus_(2020)-10246.php
From what I can tell this GPU should support hardware 10bit HEVC decoding but MX Player Pro and XPlayer both force themselves to software (choppy) when playing those files. Non 10bit HEVC seem to work fine.
Am I missing something, shouldn't this work?
Edit: This also indicates it should support Main10 1080p Level 4.1 @ 30 fps (which are my test files): https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tablets/ft-device-specifications-firehd-models.html
Edit 2: These are test videos you can try, I can't get any of the Main10 videos to play hardware accelerated (all the non Main10 HEVC files do play hardware accelerated):

You can check the codecs using AIDA64 to support 10bit HEVC or not.
Get AIDA64 from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.finalwire.aida64

Doesn't help, I doubled checked of course it lists HEVC, which I already verified, but that doesn't tell me if it supports 10bit HEVC. I mean obviously it doesn't since the players are forced in software mode I'm just asking why that is if the GPU seems capable.
Edit: I also checked AIDA64 on my phone which does play 10bit HEVC hardware accelerated and in the codecs list it just lists HEVC just like the 2020 Fire 8, there's no separate codec entry for 10bit HEVC in the AIDA64 list.
