Compressing video recorded on a cellphone allows you to record dozens or hundreds of hours of footage, whereas uncompressed or minimally compressed formats - like AVI - would only allow for a couple of hours of footage before your device's storage was completely full.

More cellphone manufacturers are adding support for HEVC, too. Related: What Is HEVC H.265 Video, and Why Is It So Important for 4K Movies? As an example, HEVC is used to compress the enormous files used in the movie editing process into something that can easily fit on a single Blu-Ray disk.
