HEVC has been supported by mobile phone hardware for years now, both encoding and decoding. And the difference with AV1 is negligible.

Newer phones support AV1 decoding at least.

Personally I'd much rather use an open standard, and the fact it's better than HEVC doesn't hurt either.

Qualcomm chips still don't support. This is a serious blocker. Side note: Qualcomm is one of the patent holder of HEVC
