Hi Nirav

Yes, nRF52832 is a Bluetooth 5.0 compatible device. Note that it does not support the long-range capabilities of Bluetooth 5.0, the nRF52840 and nRF52833 do.

The biggest change between Bluetooth 4.2 and 5.0 is that 5.0 introduced 3 new PHYs (physical layers) in its protocol stack. These include 2Mbps, Coded PHY S=8 (125kbps long-range), and Coded PHY S=2 (500kbps long-range). This means that the Bluetooth 5.0 stack is able to either double the data throughput or quadruple the range from the 1Mbps physical layer used in Bluetooth 4.2.

You can see various other differences between the versions in this blog post.

Best regards,

Simon
