        WazzaG, 26 Mar 2020My s20+ will automatically select aptx for my headphones. Then your headphones support aptx :)

              WazzaG, 26 Mar 2020Bet it's still in the hidden developer mode.Yes, the bluetooth service/standards can be changed in the developer menu, but they will always be dependent on the app being used and the receiver of the signal.

                Anonymous, 26 Mar 2020It is better testing the speakers. Using earphones, the ... moreGuys I never mentioned using head phones. Every device converts audio signal over a cable so that what you send from your device to the receiver gets sent as accurately as possible. That is either over a jack or USB or even Bluetooth (but Bluetooth has the aptx standard). Every device can be subjected to response test in how it sends this signal to a receiving end. Sure the speaker test is cool and honestly is useful and glad they added it, but I don't make a purchase based on how loud or accurate the tiny speaker etc sounds. I never expect much from that little speaker anyway.

                  Anonymous, 26 Mar 20201) Gsmarena already concluded that your headphones will mat... moreMy point on the response for audio sent from the phone (Analog to Digital/Digial to Analog) is not to see who sounds better over headphones or not. Of course headphones will make all the difference. Like you mentioned a V60, V50, V40 etc will always have more accurate audio with less noise etc than most other phones. There is a more universal test that can be used that subjects the audio response of every phone in the same way their speaker test does. I am just uncertain why they chose to leave it out.

                      I don't have any of the same issues that you do. But then again my phone came with new March firmware update already and it has just updated ou itself again.

                      Still no issues.

                          I bought this s20+ by impression it would be solid than note 10+ but I was wrong ::
                          1) Even it s20+ with 4500 MaH battery , its worst battery life
                          2) Processor/CPU heating too much even using 5 minutes of camera
                          3) Camera is lagging while snapping
                          4) If you switch to 120Hz , don't expect more battery life than 4hrs continuous with heating.
                          5) Even switching to 60Hz I see does not much improve battery life that is also disappointed.
                          My main complains are heating and worst battery life , else other features are fine.
                          SAMSUNG this time advertised about camera but not drastic change. Now auto focus became worst ... disappointed on that.

                            Exynos S20/20+ use isocell to.

                            Only Snapdragon S20/20+ have exmor imx555.

                                Samsung if you are reading this can we have a 90Hz screen as well as 120.

                                That way we can have a middle ground option.

                                Thanks.

                                      my question is why the main 12mp camera exists?
                                      they could just use that 64 mp sensor for both regular and zoom camera. like lg v60
