Is nRF52840 Bluetooth classic compatible?

As I found inconsistent information about it, I would like to clarify this:

  1. Is the nRF52840 compatible to both Bluetooth Classic as well as Bluetooth Low Energy?
  2. Would it be possible to pair it with a Bluetooth 2.0 device?

Thank you very much in advance!

    Maybe it would have helped me if the chipset's own description at https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nRF52840 clearly negated any Bluetooth Classic support or at least clearly stated BLE only support. It only states Bluetooth 5.3 with support for BLE. Don't know if that made sense for others as well.

    That should hopefully be covered by the "Multiprotocol Bluetooth 5.3 SoC supporting Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth mesh, NFC, Thread and Zigbee" since the support for BLE is specifically mentioned, while Bluetooth Classic is not.

    I see how this can be confusing for someone new to the chipset though - there is a lot of features and flexibility to familiarize with -, and so I hope that you will not hesitate to open another ticket if you should encounter any other issues or questions in the future - we're happy to help! :)

    Good luck with your development!

    Best regards,
