H.265/HEVC is the new successor to H.264/AVC whose idea is to offer the same level of picture quality as AVC, but with better compression. It becomes gradually the standard codec for 4K videos and camera video recording. But it’s not the popular format for Android phones currently since most of the Android phones can’t play H.265 natively. To watch H.265 videos on Android phones, you need a H.265 player on Android or convert H.265 to H.264 for Android.
