    We’re approaching versions of android that are difficult to differentiate from Dragon Ball Z characters.

    I got a feeling this is gonna be annoying as hell, given various timing delays from different devices.

    Hell, my matching earbuds can’t even stay in phase half the time.

    Finally, I can easily share my taste in porn with my friends, family, and colleagues.

    I can already do this on my Samsung Galaxy S23. Has this been a Samsung-only thing?

    That being said, Samsung’s Bluetooth UI leaves much to be desired, IMO.

    Edit: Granted, it doesn’t work exactly as described in the article, but I can have multiple BT speakers playing the same content from my phone.

      it is.

      I had been using samsung devices and lg devices for quite a bit and I could send audio to two bluetooth devices with the note 8. I had always carried two devices, my other device was the a32. I had thought it was something that was a normal thing. then I upgraded to an xperia 1 III. a while later I then tried to send audio to two different speakers. I first connected to one of my speakers and then tried to connect to another one at work. it did connect, but it disconnected from my speaker. looking around I find out that it was a pretty much samsung only thing. opening up the ability to all android devices is a good thing.

      I can do this with my Note 20 ultra. It’s a Bluetooth 5 feature. We can also have multiple sources connected to one speaker. This all has nothing to do with Android 16.

      Yeah Airpods/iPhones have had this for almost a half decade, I am just as confused, seeing everybody act like this is brand new and mind-bending tech.
