Qualcomm tinkered Bluetooth 5.0 to allow music streaming to two devices simultaneously
Well, it looks like Qualcomm has found a way to tweak Bluetooth 5.0 support on its Snapdragon 845 chip so that users can stream music to two devices (smartphones, speakers) at the same time without an extra accessory in-between.
Basically, owning a device equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip will allow you to send single music streams to each speaker, smartphone, and pair of headphones. Moreover, besides HD quality music streaming, the technology supports live audio as well.
Another advantage of the new technology is that it offers up to 50% lower power consumption in comparison with the current standard.
Qualcomm says the technology will need specific support from apps and devices, which is why it will provide APIs to anyone interested to adopt its technology.
