The Galaxy S8 is the first smartphone to feature Bluetooth 5.0

-

The Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+, which were announced earlier today, are the first commercial smartphones in the world to feature Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. It’s a huge connectivity upgrade over Galaxy S7 and S7 edge’s Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity. Bluetooth 5.0 offers substantial gains in speed, range, and music quality.

The new version of Bluetooth theoretically offers twice the speed and four times the range. However, that’s not the only new thing in the Galaxy S8 and S8+. These smartphones can also stream audio wirelessly to two Bluetooth speakers or headphones simultaneously, also allowing users to control volume on both the headphones separately.

After the collaboration with Disney that led to the birth of the OnePlus 6T Avengers Edition, the company of Pete Lau and Carl Pei have announced a new collaboration. This time with a well-known brand of sports cars and giant of Formula 1: McLaren. A OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is coming, what should we expect? Have you ever heard of OSIRIS? Choose "Yes, I have!" or "Never heard of it.". Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Yes, I have! Oops! Seems like something went wrong. Reloading might help. Never heard of it. Not much, actually. From past experience, we can imagine the new limited edition OnePlus 6T as a simple new color variant.

The collaboration between ...
