As you might know, Samsung announced the new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones bringing a lot of oomph factor for the smartphone enthusiasts. While most are still talking about the features and the design, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are world’s first phones to feature Bluetooth 5.0 LE support.
The new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ phones now come with Bluetooth 5.0 LE support and will benefit from it in three areas – speed, range, and audio. In comparison to the Bluetooth 4.2 standard, the new Bluetooth standard offers twice the theoretical speed of data transfer.
Not only that, the Bluetooth 5.0 now offers quadrupled range with about 800 feet to maintain a connection with the compatible devices. Needless to say that you will have to buy Bluetooth devices which can work well to make the best of this new standard.
