What's the difference between Bluetooth 5.0 and Bluetooth 4.2?

1, different data transmission capacity and speed: Compared with Bluetooth version 4.2, Bluetooth 5.0 can bring twice the data transmission speed and increase the data transmission capacity by 800%. In other words, with Bluetooth 5, you can send and receive more data at a faster speed.

2. Different transmission distance: Compared with Bluetooth version 4.2, the bandwidth (transmission speed) of Bluetooth 5.0 is increased from 1Mbps to 2Mbps, and the transmission distance is increased to 4 times, that is, the theoretical effective working distance is 300 meters, and it also provides a low power consumption mode.

3. Different bytes: Compared with Bluetooth version 4.2, Bluetooth version 5.0 can broadcast 255 bytes of data packets instead of 3 1 byte, thus reducing the transmission efficiency loss caused by 2.4GHz band interference.

4. Different positioning capabilities: Compared with Bluetooth 4.2, Bluetooth 5.0 also enhances indoor and outdoor positioning capabilities, that is, it can transmit a large amount of information to other compatible devices without establishing a real connection.
