After many months of rumors and leaks, yesterday we finally got out of doubt and all the rumors that until yesterday had leaked about the company's new flagship were officially confirmed. I particularly expected that Samsung would have reserved some important novelty to unveil at the presentation, but unfortunately it was not like that and the presentation was a mere procedure that did not provide us with any new information. But as the days go by and until the first units reach the public, little by little we will be publishing articles with some curiosities or details about the operation of the terminal.
One of the few things that caught our attention has to do with the version of bluetooth that this new device implements, becoming the first to use version 5.0, a version that was officially released before the end of the year and that it offers us twice the speed of version 4.x and is also 4 times more powerful. In this way the range ratio of all the devices that we connect to this brand new device will increase, but until the first tests are carried out we will not be able to know if the specifications of this version of bluetooth really meet what they claim.
All devices with previous versions of bluetooth are fully compatible with this new version of the Galaxy S8 and S8 +, so we will not have to be forced to update them with the purchase of new ones. Throughout this year, new bluetooth accessories will begin to arrive on the market that will also make use of this version of bluetooth, a version that will not be fully compatible with older devices, especially if we talk about the possible new functionalities that may be available to us. offer.
