Encoding on mobile does not have to use the most efficient profiles though. H.264 and HEVC mobile encoders do not use the higher profiles either.

The most computationally efficient encoding algorithms can do hundreds of frames per second at 720p even on mobile. The price you pay is quality and filesize - it'll be large and look awful.
