Depends on your definition of “better”. Better bitrate and quality? Yes. But that comes at the cost of reduced range (since it’s more dependent on a good connection to the source device).
I moved from Galaxy S10 to Xperia 1 V precisely because none of the phones in the Galaxy line support aptx.
Also, there’s aptx, aptx-hd, aptx-LL (low latency), and aptx-adaptive. My headphones support only aptx and aptx-adaptive and I really wanted support for the latter. There’s licensing involved so not all devices support the whole range of aptx standards.
A lot oft phones have aptx, no?
LDAC or bust, homie.
Is it better than aptx-hd?
Edit: aptxhd: 567kbit/a max and ldac 990kbit/s max
