10-bit H264 hardware decoding

[auxillium]

As the title says, I wanna ask if the Axon 7 Mini supports 10-bit H264 hardware decoding. I'm not entirely sure, but according to Kodi's wiki on Android Hardware (not saying this is the most credible source, but I couldn't find anywhere else anyways), the mini does have HW decode for both H264 and H265, but without any notes, implying it can do up to 10bit I'd assume. If it DOES actually support 10bit, is there a way to make use of it? I have no luck with MXPlayer so far.

Hi @auxillium,
Could you tell me what's the 10-bit H264 hardware decoding? Is it a kind of flash or root? Pls forgive my ignoreness.
Thanks in advance!

It's for playing videos. 10bit is the color depth and H264 is the format. Hardware decoding is when there's a dedicated chip for doing a certain task, which is often faster than having it done by the CPU itself. In this case, I'm asking if the Axon 7 Mini's chip is capable of hardware decoding videos of the format H264, with 10bit color depth.
