Any news if S9/S9+ will support aptx HD? It says on qualcomm website that SD 845 supports aptX Classic/HD, but not sure if it will actually be available.

Now I'm curious about MQA, since I have Tidal, and apparently the V30 supports MQA... Debating whether to get the S9 or the V30 now.... Slightly better hardware, or better sound? Tough choice...
At the Samsung event they told me it would support aptX HD and LDAC too
Thank you for this info! I've been looking all over the internet to find this answer and couldn't. :good:
As someone with a V30 who can't wait to get rid of the thing, in my opinion the audio quality boost just isn't worth the headaches of LG's crap software. They're basically about where Samsung was on the S4 as far as stability and usefulness goes.
It's a Bluetooth codec it basically sends more data via Bluetooth to your Bluetooth headphones or speaker giving you better sound quality. The headphones or speaker needs to support aptx hd also for it to be effective
No aptxhd as I have the s9+ and when u go to developer settings and choose the bluetooth codec theres aptx only I'm using the exynos versionThanks for explaining
Interestingly, LDAC is not turned on automatically. You have to go to bluetooth settings, find relevant headphones, enter its settings and then trigger LDAC on.
Is there a way to see how each bluetooth connection is talking? Connect my headphones and see that it is currently using aptx or sbc and such?
Yes that is found in developer options in the settings menu

found a well written article : https://www.pocket-lint.com/headpho...-what-is-aptx-hd-and-which-devices-support-it
and apparently there is a site of apt-x indexing which products support their new codec https://www.aptx.com/products?field_aptx_type_tid=483
it's interesting as well as kinda confusing for customers to find product/s (in this case cellphone/s) that will be able to widely support many new acclaimed HD audio codecs.
in regards with samsung phones with Exynos chip, not sure if it supports aptX & aptX HD as of now.

Turn on developer options, then scroll down and you'll find bluetooth codecs. You can select which one you want to use and quality over performance or vice versa etc.
I can confirm that the Exynos version doesn’t support aptX hd. Seeing as it’s a hardware issue, it’s very unlikely that it ever will. Shame as my new b&w px supports the codec. Guess I’ll have to wait for another phone.
I kinda have a feeling that the 'AptX' codec in dev options is just AptX HD but they decided to call it AptX for whatever reason.
