Iphrothokholi yokudlulisa i-bluetooth ibilokhu ithuthuka kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva nje, kusukela ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kuye kokungenani okungenani kuya ekuvumeleni noma yiluphi uhlobo lwefayela ukuthi luthunyelwe ngejubane lokumisa inhliziyo uma kuqhathaniswa namamodeli okuqala aqala ukudumisa lobu buchwepheshe bokuxhumana obungenantambo. Esikhathini esingaphezu kwesonto eledlule, i-SIG (i-Bluetooth Special Interest Group) kkunemininingwane yokuthi kuzoba yini isizukulwane sesihlanu se-Bluetooth. Izinto ezintsha ezintsha ze-bluetooth 5 zitholakala ekwandisweni kwejubane lokudlulisa nokwandiswa kobubanzi bayo, okungenye yemikhawulo eyinhloko yalobu buchwepheshe.
Okwamanje kusamele silinde ukubona amadivayisi okuqala ahambisana nesizukulwane sesihlanu se-bluetooth, kepha konke kubonakala kukhombisa ukuthi enye yama-smartphones okuqala ukusebenzisa lesi sizukulwane esisha se-bluetooth kuzoba yi-Galaxy S8, yize kungahle kube yisikhathi esifanelekile uma inhloso yenkampani ukwethula lolu cingo ekupheleni kukaFebhuwariNgaphandle kokuthi izaziso zakamuva ezihlobene nale divayisi ziqinisekiswe, izindaba ezithi ukuqaliswa kwale divayisi kungabambezeleka izinyanga ezimbalwa. Uma kunjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi i-Samsung isebenzise lesi sizukulwane esisha se-bluetooth esigungwini sayo esisha.
Njengamanje, inguqulo yakamuva ye-bluetooth engu-4.2, inguqulo esinikeza ukusetshenziswa okuqinile kakhulu kwebhethri, ngakho-ke izinhlobo ezintsha ngaphezu kokuzama ukwenza ngcono ukusetshenziswa (njengamanje ezisesekondari) zigxile ekwenzeni ngcono ijubane lokudlulisa uma lilingana nobubanzi balo , kukhawulelwe kumamitha ayi-10 ngaphandle kwezithiyo njengoba ubonakala uphakathi nendawo. I-terminal okungenzeka futhi cishe uma isebenzisa i-bluetooth 5 kuzoba yi-HTC 11, isikhungo esisha sefemu yaseTaiwan, ngoba usuku lwayo lokwethula luhlelelwe inyanga kaMeyi.
