For all the people asking about the dual audio feature of the S8 and Bluetooth 5, they aren't related, they are completely different things. Dual audio is not a feature of Bluetooth 5, plus the speakers you are using are Bluetooth Classic not Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The new features in Bluetooth 5 are all about BLE, not Bluetooth Classic.

Gary Sims you said in your video I wouldn't be able to use a Bluetooth speaker/headset at far distances but I have been able to, I left my phone up stairs and went to my backyard and still have great connection, it's a pretty far distance so your wrong about that. Not try to spread hate I'm just telling you my experiences with Bluetooth 5.0

You weren't using Bluetooth 5 in you little experiment. The actual range that you get for Bluetooth Classic depends on a bunch of things like the types of walls and the sensitivity of the receivers/transmitters in you Bluetooth speaker. In my video I was specifically talking about the Bluetooth 5 CODED connection type, which is not supported by the S8. I am not spreading hate I am talking the facts. Please stop spreading misinformation. Again I repeat your little test was NOT using Bluetooth 5.

Hello Gary came across your vid and I liked the follow through on Samsung bluetooth 5.0. I have a question in regards to my Samsung frontier watch which will not turn on. (already sent back to SS and sent it back, unrepairable, due to water damage) . THE WATCH HAS NEVER SEEN OR BEEN TOUCHED BY WATER AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE IP68 RATING. At the time of this post it is still under warranty which they (SS) have done nothing. Can you direct me to someone to resolve my claim.
@SomeGadgetGuy
@SomeGadgetGuy 7 років тому
Stonking great video Gary. Well done. One of my biggest issues with several manufacturers right now is disclosure. Advertising features which may or may not be available or included in a phone. It's no great shame to say BT5 hardware is included in the phone and software support will follow. It's been frustrating watching companies muddy the water with buzzwords, but not really delivering what they're promising.

@StopMediaFakery
@StopMediaFakery 6 років тому
JuanBagnell Here you are again Juan, searching for negative S8 videos and chiming in more anti-Samsung propaganda. 'Stonking great video Gary. Well done.', falling over yourself to praise these kind of videos. Pretty much all the BS you have come out with so far has been, well, BS, but you always know that people are stupid enough to jump on a bandwagon. You were wrong about the sensor, (school boy error), and you were wrong with your claim about the AKG earphones, which it clearly states in the specs that they are 'tuned' by AKG. After I schooled you on this, you banned me from PocketNow, nothing like a coward who can't cope with being wrong. Now you're backing this Bluetooth 5 nonsense, even though they didn't mention it. It was tech reviewers who made a thing of it. It's embarrassing how hard you're trying to shill for LG and big up the LG G6. Lets talk about the DAC on the G6, shall we? Where are your complaints for the single firing speaker, the cheaper processor, when they could have in fact used the 835, like what is seen in the Mi6, the mixing of specs depending on the country you are in, the shockingly poor battery life, as seen in XEETECHCARE's latest battery test, the modest LCD display, also the fact that it's far from bezel-less and isn't symmetrical. You're stretching it by claiming to be a tech reviewer.
@hariznonis
@hariznonis 6 років тому
Stop Media Fakery sorry but, how is the G6 not symmetrical? If you cut a line across the phone(horizontally or vertically), you'll get two equal halves. Or are you referring to the screen position?

I love the way Gary develops his story - like a detective - checks the facts, documentation and consults the relevant parties. I guess it's a bit like Bixby - the hardware might be there but the software isn't quite ready yet (although Bixby is more within Samsung's control as opposed to Android O). At least it will work eventually which is better than had they just built-in BT 4.

@GglSux
@GglSux 6 років тому
+Android Authority Excuse a possibly naive question, but You say that the "coded connection" that is required to get the "extended range" only manages something like ~100 Kbps. And then You go on to say that it won't be possible to use it for Your Bluetooth speaker. But surely it would work "in principle" if You manage to get both a phone and a speaker that support the "protocol" ?? I mean You can get "passable" audio encoded lower than a 100 kbps, Or is it something else that makes it "impossible" ? Thanks for all the great videos. Best regards.
@GarySims
@GarySims 6 років тому
The current Bluetooth Classic codec for audio has a max bit rate of 345 kbit/s for stereo. So, when you say "passable" it means you need to accept around 1/4 of what we have today.

@Martinspire
@Martinspire 7 років тому
I think its fine for Samsung to put in the hardware to support Bluetooth 5. I have no doubt they will release some patch soon that will give at least 1 feature of Bluetooth. I mean, its not like Bt5 is so much different in SDK or whatever. Its mainly drivers now and sure Google is going to add it in O but that doesn't mean that what that has is not portable to N. I'd rather have the hardware to support something in the future, than not having the hardware at all. Its also why i don't understand why the GS8 doesn't have true USB-3 support. It has the connector, it has the chip, but it doesn't have the nice quick charge support of USB-3, nor the speeds. Its weird to block that as there is no reason to do that. In fact, they could sell new adapters with it. Having USB C + 3 on my Lumia 950 was amazing. Charging it within an half hour fully was really nice and handy (charging in the car would give me a full battery when arriving at work, and then also when i got home. I really hope they are going to support it with the S9, but i don't think its possible to patch that in later.

It's not that the other UKpostsrs don't know what they're talking about, it's that they didn't make a video specifically about the Bluetooth 5. They're videos are about the device, and they just mentioned it's capabilities. They weren't wrong, they just didn't give details. For instance, MKBHD said it has 2x speed, 4x range, 8x data. He wasn't wrong. He just left it at that. It's up to the consumer to find out more and ask questions and use Google it look for more detailed videos.

As for not having a full Bluetooth 5.0 support (Dual Audio is a Bluetooth 5.0 feature, so a little part of the Bluetooth 5.0 technology is enabled then) out of the box with the Galaxy S8 phones is ok as there isn't any Bluetooth 5.0 devices out yet that you can use the Bluetooth 5.0 on the Galaxy S8 phones with. So it's fine for now.

You sure about that? I would like to see some sources on that then :-).

Tom-Helge Andersen Simple really, audio over Bluetooth is a feature of Bluetooth Classic, not BLE. Bluetooth 5 is all about BLE, the "Classic" part of Bluetooth 5 is the same as previous versions. Plus the speakers we are all using are Bluetooth 3 or 4, not 5.

Bluetooth 5 is a hardware spec same as WiFi, so yes list it IF you will eventually enable software support. Otherwise if you have BT 5 hardware and never plan on supporting anything beyond BT e.g. 4.2 then the spec should be listed as BT 4.2 not 5. A similar specification example are GPU's, DisplayPort limit is 1.2 but many will support the soon to be released DisplayPort 1.4 e.g. 'DisplayPort 1.4 Ready.'

thanks to your efforts trying figure it out, S8 has its BT 5.0 hw support, just waiting for the Android O, hopefully Samsung might update sw by themself earlier just for BT 5, I think we can't say S8 users don't have BT 5.0 at all, at least they're​ on the first stage and capable of using 2x BT connected.
@GarySims

The 2x audio feature has nothing to do with Bluetooth 5.

@GarySims 7 років тому
There is no current support for 2x speed on the S8. This is what my video is about. 2x speed is part of Bluetooth 5. It doesn't apply to streaming audio as that is Bluetooth Classic.

Doesn't S8 support simultaneous connection of 2 bluetooth devices? Isn't it BT5 feature? If so, Samsung does unlock some capabilities of the newer bluetooth.

Ср Хйт I've been using this feature on my S8 and it is excellent. I seemlessly listen to music in the car then turn it off and its playing on my bluetooth headset. It is a feature of bluetooth 5 so you are correct!
@CPX723
@CPX723 7 років тому
masquirrel Actually, it works like this on iPhone 7 too. And I don't think it has bt5 in it. I meant 2 Bluetooth headphones or speakers playing audio simultaneously from S8.

@swapnilsen451
@swapnilsen451 7 років тому
Ср Хйт Hey that's possible because of an another Bluetooth antenna on the speaker or the headset itself... that's how the airpods work... both the headsets aren't simultaneously connected to the iPhone

Bluetooth 5 can use on any 2 Bluetooth device and 4.2 can only use on certain one which is specially build, you can't connect 2 device at the same time that's not apple made

I found bluetooth in my S8 is worst than my iPhone 7. I contacted the samsung and they have no answer for it other than to give me an another S8 or factory reset (not the one inside the settings option). I think that's not gonna fix this issue.

A correction here to be made. Android Oreo Beta for S8 is out there available as of now. I know the video was made a long time back. But it should be highlighted that it now available

Bluetooth 5 hasn't really been on my list of things I want. I hardly ever transfer files via bluetooth and when I do it's not an ISO so what does more speed buy me? Distance? That could be useful, but it's not a deal breaker either way. Anyway, it's interesting to my faster is better brain but makes no real difference to the way I use my phone.

I see where that had Samsung popped the S8 with their own patch to access BT5 it could spawn up the same sort of mess that forced 802.11n into the market. Even though the same controller chip is in the pool, there would be several different sources peeing in the pool so to speak. This afternoons look at what is up with BT lately has been interesting.

I have been connecting two headsets since the day I bought my S8. Moreover, time to time I connect my two speakers to my S8 without any issues. For me, that is BT5 as it is the 1st time that I am able to do something like that.
