Samsung Galaxy S8 it is the first smartphone on the planet that has the new integrated Bluetooth 5, the Samsung company confirming this in the list of specifications for the product. The new Bluetooth 5 was announced a few months ago, and its integration in the Samsung Galaxy S8 is not surprising, considering that Samsung usually integrates new technologies into its products.
The technology offered by the Samsung Galaxy S8 for Bluetooth replaces an old one for over 2 years and brings a series of extremely interesting benefits. More precisely, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will be able to transmit separate audio content to two Bluetooth headphones simultaneously, so probably the new AKG headphones in the box will have support for this.
Separately, Bluetooth 5 is much faster in transferring data from the Samsung Galaxy S8 to other terminals that have the same technology available. Moreover, Blutooth 5 has a greater range than previous technologies, 240 meters, so the Samsung Galaxy S8 could connect to accessories from a much greater distance.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has Bluetooth 5 integrated
The Samsung Galaxy S8 is going to offer a wide range of new functions thanks to Bluetooth 5, but only if there are compatible accessories. Without accessories that provide support for Bluetooth 5, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will not be able to be used to its maximum capacity by Samsung customers.
Considering that the Bluetooth 5 standard is barely integrated into a smartphone, it is hard to say when accessories will appear that Samsung Galaxy S8 customers can really enjoy. Devices compatible with Bluetooth 5 will certainly start to be launched in the next period, but it is not known what kind of utility they will have.
Considering that the Samsung Galaxy S8 already has Bluetooth 5, it won't be long before other smartphone manufacturers implement the standard. The iPhone 7S and iPhone 8 should also have Bluetooth 5, so the Samsung Galaxy S8 won't be alone with this feature for even that long.
