10 Cool Things the Pixel 2 Can Do

Bluetooth 5.0 Technology

Another thing a lot of owners don't know about is Bluetooth 5.0, and how it makes our phones work better. 

So what makes Bluetooth 5.0 special? For one, it increases the speed of Bluetooth by 800% and gives it multi-channel and directional audio. BT 5.0 also increases the range from 30 feet to over 120 feet. Yes, that means you can stream music from literally everywhere in your house, or even the neighbors in some cases. 

It even works on an app-by-app basis. Meaning you can stream music to speakers or a headphone while directing another sound source (like a video on YouTube) to a different speaker or the phone speakers itself. It sounds confusing, but it's really not. 

Basically, BT 5.0 on the Pixel 2 makes connections extremely fast, distance a non-issue, and increases the range by leaps and bounds. Now we just need more BT 5.0 enabled accessories.
