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.
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.
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.
One Plus 6 supports BLE 5 long range
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
