    Wow. They must have added it in via licensing / July update.

    Bluetooth sound sounds MUCH better.

    Your device has to support it. If it doesn't, you're SOL. Should automatically start playing in aptX.

    "APTX HD isn’t going to greatly benefit consumers who primarily stream heavily compressed music from the most popular services. That said, those with a decent physical FLAC library or who stream from high quality services, such as Tidal or Qobuz, do stand to benefit."

    Bose does not support APTX in any of their products.

    AptX is only useful if you're listening high-bitrate audio files. Any file (or online streaming service) < 320kb/s won't make any significiant difference (AptX bandwidth is ~368kb/s)

    Also it looks like it is AptX only and not AptX HD

    Yeah Qualcomm specs on the SD660 don't list AptX HD....

    Do wish that TCL had gotten the software "right" before pushing the phones out and letting reviewer at it. One of the video reviews I watched, the reviewer tried his expensive head phones and really didn't like the sound from the KEY2. With this update he might be more impressed... but doubtful he'll do another review. Same for the Camera....
