most consumers and phone spec writers fail to understand the difference between the high speed and coded phy features of bluetooth 5.0
You can't blame the consumers & phone spec writers for that - it's the BT SIG who made these things optional and, thus allow people to indiscriminately say "BT 5".
Even Nordic do it: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/39532/is-it-only-nrf52840-s140-which-support-bt5-long-range-coded-phy
Anyhow, Sony Xperia XA2 and XZ1 support BT 5:

though not stated if that includes the Coded PHY
One Plus 6 supports BLE 5 long range
Yes it a very nice feature. I was only recently made aware of this myself.
Unfortunately this feature is not available on iOS.
Best regards.
Great tip on using device info from nRF Connect app.
Just tried it on a Samsung Galaxy S9 no LE coded support. Most all the other BLE 5.0 attributes are supported though.
Hi.
As far as I know there are still no phones that support long range.
The Pixel 3 has, at writing time, just been released and is still waiting to be released in quite a few countries.
I don't know many detailes about the phone yet, so I can't say for sure.
If you have access to the phone you can download the nRF Connect app, open the "Device Information". There you can see which BT-features that is supported, including long range.
I'll try update the thread as soon as I get some more information about the Pixel 3.
Best regards,
Joakim.
