H.265 is a new video coding standard and is an upgraded version of H.264.
H.265 improves the relationship between code stream, coding quality, delay and algorithm complexity to achieve optimal settings.
Specific content: improve compression efficiency, improve robustness and error recovery, reduce real-time delay, reduce channel acquisition time, random access delay, and reduce complexity.
Standard-definition digital image transmission can be achieved at a speed lower than 1 Mbps; H265 can transmit 720P (resolution 1280*720) ordinary high-definition audio and video transmission with a transmission speed of 1~2 Mbps.

According to the above instructions，H.265 is truly best choice than H.264. However, not at all devices video coding can decode the H.265, because newer technology need any time to cover and become a general technology.
