Arif Dikici, who is a part of the Android Video and Image Codecs team at Google, recently announced on LinkedIn that Android will now use an AV1 decoder known as “libdav1d,” which was created by the team behind VLC.
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 :(
According to this, my OnePlus Open has hardware av1 decoding. That’s pretty cool.
Nice, I was pretty sure my Pixel 7 already had hardware AV1 decoding and this app seems to confirm it.
