Bluetooth technology has evolved significantly, powering a wide range of devices from wireless headphones to smart home gadgets. Two key variants dominate the Bluetooth ecosystem: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Classic Bluetooth (BT) . In this article, we'll explore their differences, highlight BLE's power efficiency, discuss communication range, and provide insights into their development for Android applications. I. Key Differences Between BLE and Classic Bluetooth 1.Power Consumption: BLE: Designed for low power consumption, BLE is optimized for devices that need to run for months or even years on a single coin-cell battery. It achieves this through short, intermittent data bursts and a sleep-heavy operation mode. Classic Bluetooth: Consumes more power, making it suitable for applications requiring continuous data streaming, such as audio playback or file transfers. 2.Data Transfer Rates: BLE: Limited to small data packets (up to 20 bytes per transmission), ideal for a...
