So sd3 doesn't support it?

No other smartphone SoC supports AV1 encoding, not the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Dimensity 9300, or Exynos 2400

Interesting. Do we know why? Av1 is around for quite a few

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because there is no need for now compared to cost and efficiency.

Decoding - yes and I believe the last gen has that because streaming services are switching to AV1. However, only creators really would stream and make use of the encoding features.

Would help with video conference calls, but 265 is fine for now.

Sorry, that was just a quote from the article. You'd have to ask Chip manufacturers why they're not including this hardware encoder/decoder.

its computationally intensive, so for platforms where battery life is a significant factor, its prioritized less.

Needing lots of transistors and energy

I hope this means Pixels will be able to compete with iPhone on camera video quality
