Last I checked Sony didn't support aptx, at the very least they are pushing their own codec.

That's right. But take other brands they all have Aptx, aptx hd or LL. If it isn't about the codecs but more on hardware why dare lots of brands not to choose for AAC. They say AAC is not reliable on android..they say but is it true?.

More like there's no single reference encoder for AAC, which leads to massive quality differences between different devices. As for AptX I guess marketing had a huge hand in that. They needed something to advertise as being "better than generic Bluetooth".

I don't think it's true, at least not on my xperia phone. You can lock the codec in the developer settings to force a certain one, and I've tried aac before without issues.

LDAC is a superior codec anyway. aptX can't even recreate a sine wave without garbling it.
