Does bluetooth 5.3 give me LC3 codec?

[Guerilla]

Hi.
I have a uniherz jello star phone with bluetooth 5,3 and some noname bluetooth 5.3 in ears. I wonder if that means automatically that they both support lc3?
Also I wonder how its possible to see what codec is being used. I can't find this information on my old Redmi either.
Cheers!

No, being Bluetooth 5.3 does not guarantee that LC3 is enabled/supported. You can see which codec is being used if you unlock the developer settings in Android.

Thanks. I've unlocked and I can choose codecs, also those that earphones doesn't support. I didn't find where it shows which it actually uses. Often I've shows that its connected via SBC when I've chosen aptx HD even both phone and earbuds supports it. I've never seen it say its connected as aptx.
Oh. I also have some bluetooth 5,3 that are advertised as high resolution HD but no mention of which codecs it supports.
Its been a while since I looked for it Will have another try.
Cheers!

When I open up developer options its always reverted to say its using system preference. Should I deactivate that setting in the button of the codec list?
Cheers?

Go to the play store and download Bluetooth Codec Changer. The free version basically gives you the developer options in one easy to access interface and clearly displays which codecs are supported by your devices. The paid version allows you to set defaults codecs, bitrates, etc. plus many more features. It's worth the $4 IMO.
