Codecs in S60 Devices

Different S60 devices may have different multimedia codecs. There are similarities between S60 devices, but there are differences, as well. The mere presence of a codec (e.g. mp3) in a device does not tell too much to developers. We need to know what APIs can be used to access that codec.


This page has several purposes:

  • Show which codecs are in different S60 devices (3rd edition) and what are the APIs through which they can be accessed
  • Provide an application to check this info for upcomming S60 phones.


For the theory behind the tables, please take a look on the following articles and documents:

FAQ

Q: I know that Device X has the codec Y, but the codec is not listed in the tables above. Why?

A: This is because the codec can not be accessed by any of the APIs listed in the tables.
