AptX is disputed between regional maker FAQ and this reviewer and is not stored either way. SBC/AAC/SSC/UHQ/LC3 remain unproved for this exact reference rather than copied from another Samsung model.14Maker product pagesamsung.com/th/smartphones/galaxy-s26/buyRead 7 October 2026FAQ explicitly supports LDAC and APTX.
