The primary goal of HEVC is to provide the exact same visual quality as older formats but at roughly (or double the quality at the same bitrate). It achieves this through advanced data compression techniques: Coding Tree Units (CTUs): While H.264 relies on rigid

: This represents the calendar year of production, release, or digital encoding for the media file in question.

: Applications like MX Player or Infuse utilize hardware-accelerated decoding to prevent battery drain while processing heavy HEVC data streams on smartphones.

(High Efficiency Video Coding), also known as H.265, is a video compression standard. It was designed to replace the aging H.264 (AVC) standard.
