A:AnswerThe hi-res codec on the Galaxy Buds 4 (and Buds 4 Pro) is Samsung's proprietary Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC), specifically the SSC UHQ (Ultra High Quality) variant.
It supports true 24-bit/96kHz hi-res audio when paired with compatible recent Samsung Galaxy devices (e.g., Galaxy S23 series and newer, Z Fold/Flip 5/6/7, Tab S9 series with One UI 6.1.1 or later). Samsung officially lists the supported codecs as:
SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec) HiFi
SSC UHQ (Samsung Proprietary) — this is the hi-res one
AAC, SBC, LC3 (fallback options)
This is 100% proprietary to Samsung — it's not a standard codec like LDAC (Sony), aptX (Qualcomm), or anything open. It only unlocks full hi-res on Samsung phones/tablets; on other Android/iOS devices you're limited to AAC/SBC/LC3 (no true hi-res).
Samsung's own product pages and press releases confirm:
"Galaxy Buds4 feature Hi-Res Audio with the Samsung Seamless Codec (SSC) supporting up to 24-bit / 96 kHz."
"SSC UHQ (Samsung Proprietary)"
So yes — it's Samsung's own ecosystem-locked codec, just like previous generations (Buds 3 Pro, etc.). No changes there for the Buds 4 series.
A:AnswerGreetings, thank you for reaching out with your question about the Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro. The advertised Galaxy Buds4 Pro are not fully compatible with the Galaxy S10+. Your Galaxy S10+ does not support the most advanced AI and audio features exclusive to newer devices, however, pairing, music playback, Active Noise Cancellation, and Ambient Sound mode will be functional with your older device.
