Bluetooth upgrade on my Xperia S phone

Abdul — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 04:52:12 GMT

Hi,

My Xperia S phone is running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (build number 6.2.B1.96). I am assuming my phone is currently on bluetooth version 2 or 3. How do I upgrade the bluetooth to version 4?

I need to have my phone running on bluetooth 4 to be able to connect it to my car and personal fitness trackers.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Abs

Sorry for not being clear earlier. I am not looking fot the original specs coming from the Xperia S phone. As with other smartphones, there have been few android software upgrades on my phone, and I am sure the bluetooth firmware also got updated alongside.

How can I check the current bluetooth version running in my phone. Any clues?

Thanks,

Abdul

I believe that's a hardware limitation not software.

Hi,

Sony Xperia S uses Bluetooth version 2.1 and unfortunately, it is not possible to upgrade it.

Thanks for the replies.

Is it not true that, with each android version upgrade on Xperia S, bluetooth software/firmware will also be upgraded?
