Only if both your device and your earbuds both support aptX Lossless, which in practice means it almost never gets used because Samsung (holder of most of the market) does not pay for the licence or enable it in their phones, and the Chinese brands only do so for specific tiers and processors.

That is true. Fairphone 6 supposedly supports lossless, but with e/os it only goes to regular aptX. I have yet to try it with different phone to see if I can spot difference.
