Thanks. I'll check over some Android forums then.

As far as I know, the team have not seen anything related as of now. I suggest to check with Android forums if you are interested in this feature.

And if I only used Periodic Advertising (without response then) and using Periodic Advertising Sync Transfer.

Would that be supported on smartphone side ? I could actually make my system work without the response side.

Thanks for the info on nRF52 and nRF53. If you could ask around for the Android side it would be great thanks.

Also, it should work on both nRF52 and nRF53, ref:

The examples we have should be generic, and can be modified to whatever you like. But I must admit I don't know what support it is of phones yet, I can ask internally if someone know what is going on there.

Thanks.

Yes I read this before I posted.

There is nothing regarding smartphone support and no info on whether all nRF52 and / or nRF5340 support the features.

EDIT: I am afraid this functionality is not built to be used with smartphones and is designed only for ESL use case
