Today (December 24) well-known whistleblower @Mishaal Rahman revealed on Twitter that Android 13 will fully support LE Audio (low-power audio). It is reported that LE Audio has better sound quality, lower latency and less power consumption than the existing Classic Audio. The LC3 codec is used in LE Audio, an advanced codec with a very efficient compression algorithm that is characterized by greater efficiency while significantly reducing power consumption.
There are currently at least 5 vendors that have their own versions of the LC3 codec that are compatible with the LE Audio standard: Fraunhofer, Synopsys, T2 Labs, Goodix, and CEVA.
In addition to full support for LE Audio, the news revealed that the Android 13 operating system also brings a brand new notification permission that allows users to disable specific app notifications, which will change the history of Android phone crazy bounce notifications. As is customary, Google will release Android 13 in the first half of 2022 and push a stable update in the second half of the year.
