Google and Sony are said to be working on a 360-degree reality sound function for Android 12.
This would make it easier for developers to integrate the feature into their apps.

The 360 degree reality sound function is on different Headphones

of Sony as well as various Streaming Services such as Tidal, Amazon Music HD and Nugs.net are available. Direct collaboration with Sony is currently required to provide support, but this may change soon. The new operating system Android 12

of Google should support the function natively.

The first beta of Android 12 should appear in May, then you could possibly take a first look at the feature. The final version of the new OS is expected in autumn 2021.
