HDR tone mapping is generally done in the SoC or GPU. It shouldn't impact decoder performance, but might increase battery draw.

Of course, doing 1080p on a phone is nearly placebo for most TV/film content. 4K is beyond overkill for such a small screen.

Generally decoders support the same resolution/fps in all supported bit modes. It's more expensive to go beyond 8-bit, but not in a way that makes it materially cheaper to only support >8-bit at lower resolutions.
