Samsung Galaxy S8: Bluetooth 5.0 to compensate for the lack of jack

The Samsung Galaxy S8 could be the first smartphone to be equipped with bluetooth 5.0 to allow listening to music in HD, all without a jack.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 should be the second big smartphone, after the iPhone 7, to drop the jack. This catch, which appeared for the first time in the 1960s, multiplies the arguments against it – analogue, taking up space, and so on. – and its ultimate surrender is no mystery, Samsung prefers to take the lead with its Samsung Galaxy S8, and push everyone to switch to wireless technologies. Bluetooth seems to be the technology that will completely replace the jack in the coming years, either on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7, which has spent a week with the Plus version , it has the advantage To be universal. Yet, unlike the jack, the current bluetooth is unable to play music in CD quality. But this could well change with the Samsung Galaxy S8.

Formalized only a few days ago, the bluetooth 5.0 could land in preview on the Samsung Galaxy S8. This new standard, which follows the bluetooth 4.1 of 2013, has several advantages to be argued, including its greater distance coverage or better bit rates. The latter could reach 2 Mbps / s (in theory), and would allow to broadcast music in CD quality to the devices compatible with this standard. The Bluetooth SIG announced that this standard would make its appearance at the beginning of 2017 and after compatible devices announced at CES in January, the Samsung Galaxy S8, to be presented next April , could the first smartphone to be equipped according SamMobile and landing perfectly to the abandonment of the jack connectors. Will bluetooth 5.0 be enough to replace the jack?
