PSA: Samsung disabled BT LE audio and LC3 codec in the Canadian OneUI 6

[CharlieSIGMA]

Just leaving this as an FYI here for anyone wondering.

Samsung has, for some bizarre decision, disabled the LC3 codec and LE Audio for Bluetooth devices in OneUI 6.

It is available in other variants of devices such as global (B variants) and USA (U and U1). 

You would be able to find LE Audio options under the development settings but it's not there. Neither is the LC3 codec. 

Samsung if you're reading this please enable the codec for Canadian devices.

How did you determine this? 

[CharlieSIGMA]

I have Earbuds compatible with Le audio and LC3 (Sony WF-1000 XM5) and I can't enable it.

Screenshot from global version is from reddit, where its widely reported to be available.

Interesting.

I take it that this is what you are referring to?

I wonder if it's just an oversight here?

Hi, please be assured that Samsung always strives to provide the best user experience on the device, We’ll ensure you that it will be considered as feedback and value your time contacting us.

We certainly bring it to our team for further review.

Hopefully, the feature that you are expecting might be added in future update.

[CharlieSIGMA]

It is already available on other devices from the S23 line in other markets such as US and Global. There isn't any reason to not make it available in Canada.

Is there any update on this? I was disappointed when updating to One UI 6 but not LC3

I have the European S24 Ultra, directly from Samsung and no LC3 either.
