Not only does the Xperia have a headphone jack, it supports aptx for Bluetooth headphones! No matter if you prefer wired or wireless, it’s not skimping on either.
I moved from Galaxy S10 to Xperia 1 V precisely because none of the phones in the Galaxy line support aptx.
Also, there’s aptx, aptx-hd, aptx-LL (low latency), and aptx-adaptive. My headphones support only aptx and aptx-adaptive and I really wanted support for the latter. There’s licensing involved so not all devices support the whole range of aptx standards.
Depends on your definition of “better”. Better bitrate and quality? Yes. But that comes at the cost of reduced range (since it’s more dependent on a good connection to the source device).

I love LDAC but Sony seems to be abandoning it. I don’t think their latest headphones or bluetooth speakers have support for it anymore.
A lot oft phones have aptx, no?

LDAC or bust, homie.
Is it better than aptx-hd?
Edit: aptxhd: 567kbit/a max and ldac 990kbit/s max
