The official requirements for Android phones can be found on the Android CDD (https://source.android.com/compatibility/cdd https://source.android.com/compatibility/cdd). From a quick look at the CDD for Android 12, section 2.2.2 says that the required codecs for encoding are "H.264 AVC" and "VP8", and for decoding are "H.264 AVC", "H.265 HEVC, "MPEG-4 SP", "VP8", and "VP9". So it seems that all Android 12 phones will come with HEVC decoding support, but not necessarily encoding support. Looking at past CDDs, it seems that "H.263" was required for encoding and decoding before Android 7.0, and "H.265 HEVC" was required for decoding starting with Android 5.0.
