I wish the LG G6 came with Bluetooth 5. this is kind of big for me since I use so many Bluetooth devices for my phone.

Except that both bluetooth speakers would need to be 5.0. Good luck with that.
My V20 connects to my watch and car at the same time? So does my Note 3.The big advantage I see the S8 having in terms of Bluetooth is the ability to connect and play to 2 devices at the same time. That would be nice for multiple Bluetooth speakers.
That's different than connecting to 2 speakers at the same time to play music through. I'm not aware of a phone that can do that.My V20 connects to my watch and car at the same time? So does my Note 3.
That wasn't dependant on 5.0 as far as I read. It read as a software feature.
I'm assuming they've figured it out or theyre going to look pretty foolish listing it as a feature and it not work. I mean that wouldn't be the first time for them but I'm betting they've got it working.Issues pop up with the fact that the bluetooth speaker profiles (a2dp, meta, and controls) for 4.0 and lower are designed around one master speaker and no slaves. Priority control conflicts arise. Then there is the problems of 2 devices talking over each other at peak data while not talking to each other because bluetooth doesn't work like that. With 5.0's significant data boost, both the host and the 2 speakers are fully aware of each other and share the increased bandwidth. There is also more accurate control over left and right channels.

Yes going out but it doesnt state the speakers have to be Bluetooth 5. The bandwidth is higher so it can send the signal to 2 devices at the same time.From android police;
"If you're unfamiliar, Bluetooth 5 (officially, there's no version number, like 4.0 had) is a fairly major upgrade from Bluetooth 4.0. It has double the bandwidth speed (2 Mb/s), 4x the range, and support for long-range low energy Bluetooth connections.
That extra bandwidth is required for the Galaxy S8's "Dual audio" feature. This allows the phone to stream audio to two Bluetooth headsets or speakers at the same time."
You don't get the extra bandwidth unless you are using bluetooth 5.

So your saying Samsung has listed a feature to use from day one that won't be available day 1 because there is no Bluetooth 5.0 speakers available? You think there is zero possibility that dual audio will work with current speakers? That would be the most foolish feature they could have listed. Like I said, it's possible because it's Samsung but come on, that would be a huge backlash.and now I know you have no idea how wireless signals between 2 radios work. The faster bandwidth is not gained unless both sides speak the same lingo. The speed is in the signal (and the overlapping of using frequency bonding), if the chip has to fall back to 4.0 to communicate with a 4.0 (or lower) device, it also has to fall back to the slower connection speeds.

People have been asking for this feature for years to avoid expensive speaker systems like Sonos. Let's see, spend $100 on 2 Bluetooth speakers or hundreds on Sonos. Do the math. And if the bandwidth comment wasn't accurate then why is every site reporting about dual audio stating...Why would it be a huge backlash? How many people do you know have 2 bt speakers wishing to combine them for what ever reason? If you didn't get the sound you were looking for in the last 5 years you probably upgraded to something that did give you the sound you were looking for. Bluetooth speakers that supported the ability to talk to each other (of the same brand) to connect have been around a while. Now it is just part of the bluetooth 5 spec instead.
