A lot more range: up to four times the range of Bluetooth 4.2 LE, for a. Bluetooth 4.0 (2010) 4.1 (2013) 4.2 (2014) Bluetooth 4.0 entered the market in 2010 with a new category of Bluetooth: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The Bluetooth 5 spec allows low-energy transmissions to sacrifice data rate for more range. There have been two major releases since Bluetooth 3.0. Class 2 Bluetooth: The power rating of a Class 2 Bluetooth headphone is 2.5mW. With Bluetooth 5.0, that distance is quadrupled to 240. However, it is also dependent on the device’s throughput requirements. Longer range: Bluetooth 4.2 can hold connection to another device for a maximum of 60 meters (200 feet). With high power and sensitivity, Class 1 Bluetooth can reach distances much beyond the standard 100m. Unfortunately, my range is exactly the same as it was. This all changed with the release of Bluetooth 4.0. Class 1 Bluetooth: Class 1 Bluetooth Headphones range is 50-80 meters (164-262 feet). Of course the phone has to be on the new version as well, so I bought a new S10e, which also has v 5.0. One of the things that made me choose it over the Galaxy Watch was the fact that it has version 5.0 of bluetooth, which is supposed to have a much greater range than the older v 4.2. Recently I managed to kill the Gear S3 watch, and bought an Active 2, which I like so far. Despite how small our house is, I could never do that, so I ended up carrying the phone around, which largely defeats the purpose of the watch. I would like to leave the phone on the desk at home, and be able to roam around the house without losing connection. This allows tiny peripherals such as wireless earbuds and mice to operate wirelessly without draining their limited battery reserves. The biggest complaint I have about that combination was the poor bluetooth range. A typical consumer-grade Bluetooth device has a minimum range of 10 metres, with the total transmission power rated under 2.5 milliwatts. Bluetooth 5.1: The new version that arrived in 2019 revolved. I previously had an S7 phone, and the Gear S3 watch. In terms of numbers, the transfer rate was up to 50 Mb/s, and the range was up to 240 meters.
