Do phones have HW support for VP9?

edit: looks like it, at least for recent snapdragon phones:

Do 2+ plus year old phones count as recent?

From the link,

Snapdragon 820: launched early 2016

Snapdragon 660: announced on May 9, 2017

Not saying that all phones made after 2017 will have it, but there are mid range phones on sale that do.

I see a question mark next to the 660 on the Wikipedia page. Is there some indication of that date from elsewhere?
