Does anyone know if YouTube now encodes everything above 1080p with HEVC codec?

The reason I'm asking is that I have a Samsung tablet that has a QHD screen and it's no longer possible to view videos on YouTube in QHD. The tablet doesn't support HEVC so I'm guessing that must be the reason..

Could you post a link please? Some of my devices don't support HEVC.
