How can I test if my phone uses hardware decoding for AV1?

apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parseus.codecinfo (https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.parseus.codecinfo) show whether or not you've got it, on my samsung galaxy note 20 ultra I've got software only :(

According to this, my OnePlus Open has hardware av1 decoding. That's pretty cool.

Nice, I was pretty sure my Pixel 7 already had hardware AV1 decoding and this app seems to confirm it.
