Read on Kodi DevCon Blog that Team Kodi are considering Forum Testing Threads for Test Build discussions to help developers do testing.
How about publishing Android test builds for pull requests #5493, #5533, and #5374 which together adds HEVC/H.265 support to both AMLogic and LibStageFright/MediaCodec in Kodi?
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5493
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5533
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5374
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/android/arm/
AMLogic S805 SoC is a middle-end model that only support hardware decoding of HEVC at 1080p Full HD but players have a lower price.
AMLogic S812 SoC is the new high-end model that can support hardware decoding of HEVC all the way up to 2160p / Ultra HD (4K/UHD).
Links to samples are available in this general discussion thread about the HEVC codec

AMLogic S805 and S812 are specifically targeting Android media player boxes and OTT (over-the-top content) set-top boxes as well as products targeting HDMI dongles and Smart TVs.
This article provides more technical details about the new range of AMLogic processors but the H265 codecs is really only thing new
