According to this link (scroll down to "Snapdragon Processor Video Specs") there are several Snapdragon SoC which will playback HEVC like the Z2 which uses the Snapdragon 801.

You can check this Wiki for a list of devices using their SoC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Qu...on_devices

As for Exynos at least the 7420 supports HEVC, and likely others. http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/min...7octa_7420

All you need to do is search the name of a SoC company with HEVC or H.265.
