How to Check the Bluetooth Version on Android

Bluetooth is a key feature in any smartphone, allowing you to connect to devices like headphones, speakers, smartwatches, and more. Before buying a Bluetooth accessory, it’s important to know the Bluetooth version supported by your Android device. The newer the Bluetooth version, the better the data transfer speed and the wider the range. In this guide, we’ll show you how to find the Bluetooth version on your Android phone.

Method 1: Check via Phone Settings

The simplest way to find out the Bluetooth version is by checking it in your device settings. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Android phone.
  2. Navigate to "About Phone" or "Phone Information".
  3. Look for the "Software Information" or "Specifications" section.
  4. Sometimes, the Bluetooth version is listed here, but this method may not always provide accurate information.

If the version is not displayed, try one of the other methods below.

Method 2: Use Third-Party Apps

To get more detailed information, you can use third-party apps from the Google Play Store, such as:

  • CPU-Z — A popular app that shows detailed specs of your device, including the Bluetooth version.
  • DevCheck — Another app that provides comprehensive information about your phone’s hardware.

After installing the app, open it and go to the Bluetooth or Specifications section to find the Bluetooth version.

Method 3: Check the Device Specifications Online

If the first two methods don’t work, you can find the Bluetooth version by looking up the specifications of your phone on the manufacturer’s website or on specialized sites like:

Enter your phone’s model in the search bar on one of these websites, and in the Connectivity section, you should see the Bluetooth version listed.
