Greater bandwidth: Bluetooth 5.0 doubles the data transmission rate to 2 Mbps from 1 Mbps in Bluetooth 4.2. Extended range: Bluetooth 4.2 has a maximum 60-meter (200-foot) connection holding capacity with another device. That range is quadrupled to 240 meters (800 feet) with Bluetooth 5.0. Reduced battery consumption: Bluetooth 5.0 transfers data more quickly without using as much power, which extends battery life. Dual audio: Lastly, Bluetooth 5.0 enables the simultaneous connection of two different audio devices, such as speakers or headsets, to one audio source.
