No APTX HD support. Unacceptable.

I bought the fold 3 after reading multiple positive reviews. These reviews all state that the phone supports aptx hd. It doesn't. It only supports aptx. This is unacceptable for a flagship in 2022. It's also bonkers. All high end headphones now support aptx hd. Less than a handful supports ldac which is bizarrely supported by samsung. I've no interest in samsungs own earbuds either so I couldn't care about their proprietary codec. This limits customers getting the best from their other products and is borderline anti-competition tactics. Maybe they don't want to pay the license fee to qualcomm? Or pushing sales of their own galaxy buds? I like the fold and one ui but if future samsung flagships lack aptx hd I'll have to look elsewhere as I like high quality audio.

Yes this is very annoying, but it only supports Samsung saleable SBC.
