    I’m gaming in moonlight so it needs a good decoder

    Almost any modern SoC can decode 1080p60 HEVC in real-time. That part is handled in dedicated hardware; the speed of the CPU or GPU next to it does not matter.

      Thank God I referred to that dedicated hardware by name eh? Did some research and the fair phone supports hvec at 8 bit, not 10.

      Personally that looks a bit washed out, and the battery wouldn’t hold up too well - so it’d be a pass for me

      Edit: the fair phone 4 would fair (lol) a lot better though

        You did not specify that you need a 10-bit capable decoder. Given that the screen is 8-bit, that would be kind of unusual to have outside of niche applications such as this one.

        8 vs. 10 bit shouldn’t make the image look better outside of toning down banding artefacts. There might be an indirect colour transformation taking place here.
