If you do not know whether you are already using Bluetooth 5.0 or still Bluetooth 4.0 on your device, you can find this out using the CPU designation. To find out the CPU, first please install a system app like "Aida64" or "CPU-Z" on your mobile device. Then open the app and search for the name of the processor in the "SOC" tab. If you know the name of the processor, you can in turn view all the technical data on the manufacturer's page, which also includes the Bluetooth version.
