The Qualcomm marketing spec sheet mentions AV1 decoding: https://www.qualcomm.com/content/dam/qcomm-martech/dm-assets...

Maybe that part of the driver isn't finished yet?

Or licensed.

  • Isn't the whole point of AV1 that it's royalty free, as opposed to H264/265/etc?

  • AV1 is designed to be license free, so unless they outsourced their driver development to another company I don't think there's anything to license.
