However, the adoption of new codecs is a slow process. Hardware decoding support—essential for smooth playback without excessive battery drain—takes years to reach critical mass in consumer devices. Currently, AV1 remains supported primarily on the newest devices, with wider adoption expected over the next several years.
HEVC enhances motion prediction, allowing the encoder to better understand how pixels move from one frame to the next, reducing redundant data.
