Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard designed for short-range communications. It is typically used for connecting devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and headphones to other devices or accessories, such as speakers, keyboards, and mice.

Bluetooth uses a low-power radio frequency to connect devices within a range of about 30 feet (10 meters). It is handy for connecting devices frequently used together, such as smartphones and wireless earbuds.

Bluetooth technology has been around since 1994, and it's widely used in many devices such as smartphones, laptops, speakers, headphones, smartwatches, and many more. It's considered a reliable and low-power wireless technology, easy to use, and supported by most modern devices, making it a popular choice for wireless connectivity.

As of 2023, the most recent version of Bluetooth is Bluetooth 5.2. It was released in December 2019 and offered several new features and improvements over previous versions of Bluetooth. Some of the new features and enhancements of Bluetooth 5.2 include

LE (Low Energy) Audio: A new audio codec that allows for low-latency, high-quality audio streaming and enables audio sharing between multiple devices.
Enhanced Privacy: A feature that allows devices to frequently change their Bluetooth device address, making it harder for others to track the device's location.
Direct Device to Device: A feature that enables direct communication between two devices without needing a central hub or router, improving connections' security and reliability.

Bluetooth 5.2 also improves how devices connect, increases connection speed, and reduces power consumption.

It's important to note that not all devices support the latest version of Bluetooth, and some may require a firmware update to work with Bluetooth 5.2.
