For example with S=8,&nbsp;<span>each bit is represented by eight symbols.</span> So for the same amount of data it will use 8 times more time to transmit.&nbsp;</p> <p><br />You can take a look a this video:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluetooth.com/bluetooth-resources/intro-to-bluetooth-low-energy-coded-phy/">https://www.bluetooth.com/bluetooth-resources/intro-to-bluetooth-low-energy-coded-phy/</a></p> <p>Note that not only the power consumption is the drawback, the throughput is also reduced to 125kbps when you use S8.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
