Do these Samsung and Apple tablets offer hardware H.265 decoding?

My films are encoded as 10-bit H.265 video files, at a data rate of around 10 Mbps.

 

I was considering buying a tablet to play them on.

 

Does anyone know if the the following offer hardware-based H.265 decoding?

The spec sheet you linked for the snapdragon explicitly says it supports h265. Either way as a rule of thumb anything from the last 3 years is going to support h265 natively.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Apple chipsets have supported h.265 hardware encoding (and decoding) since the iPhone 7. Which is, to say, the iPad 2019 certainly will support it. 

Pretty sure both the Samsung tablets do, too.

Not everything supports 10-bit though, and it's hard to find out whether they do...

That's what I was thinking.

High end mobile chipsets have supported HEVC 10-bit since 2016. The old Snapdragon 820 is one such example. 
 

Low end SoCs are a lot more hit and miss though.
