It will decode HEVC/h.265 10 bit 2160/60p content. Whether it has an HDMI mode that will output this in 10 bit I am not clear.
It may not have DolbyVision or HDR-10 but it may well output HLG HDR (which is a front-runner for broadcast HDR) if it does have a 10-bit video path all the way to the HDMI.
(It will play HEVC 2160/59.94p 10 bit HDR-10 content by the way - I've done that. However it is output at 8-bit and not delivered in a format that an HDR-10 display would want)
To be honest, though, I would still be ignoring HDR if I were buying a Kodi box at the moment... It's still early days.
