Hi Allank,

We will release nRF132 v5.0 that bring somes Bluetooth 5.0 features to the nRF52832 such as 2Mbps. But due to hardware limitation long range won't be supported on this chip.

For more information regarding future feature and roadmap, I would suggest you to contact our sales representative.

Thanks. So NRF52840 is dedicated for BLE5, then what is your plan for NRF52832 ?

HI Allankliu,

Bluetooth 5 is coming very quickly to the mobile phone. As of this moment, iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 already supports Bluetooth 5.0 (2Mbps). I wouldn't be surprise if most of the phones release next year will support 5.0

To setup a complete B5 environment, you can use Nordic on both end, then you can have all most all features come with B5 such as Long Range, 2Mbps, etc. Make sure you use NRF52840 on the hardware. It's the only chip from us supports B5 by now.
