Decoding video is a power intensive operation. DTV broadcasts use modern codecs like H.264, H.265, and MPEG-2.

Display also drains battery when playing a video. Recent displays for smart watch have low power mode when the content is not changed.

With proper hardware decoding it should be less power intensive than using aarch64.
