The usual issue is having 1080p videos laying around and wanting to play them on your mobile device. Transcoding them to lower resolution might not be trivial and even quite time demanding if you are transcoding to 720p, not to some lower resolution. Also stuf like metadata, embedded subtitle tracks or additional audio tracks might get lost during that. It is just not very convenient and most of the generic Chinese phones/tablets do that just fine due to mainstream SOCs supporting that in hardware.

Yeah, thats another possible use.
