Is the Nexus 6 Bluetooth Smart Ready? Lekim 27/04/15 12:50
Is the Nexus 6 Bluetooth Smart Ready?

The answer seems to be NO when I check Bluetooth's official website for Smart Ready devices:
http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Bluetooth-Smart-Devices-List.aspx

However, the Nexus 4, 5 and Nexus 7, 10 seem to be compatible. Which makes me wonder if this is a typo or Google consciously decided to skip this for the Nexus 6.

I'm thinking of buying a Smart Ready sensor for the Nexus 6 and need to figure this out.

Thanks,
Mikel

Hi Lekim,

It is quite possible the list has not been updated. 

Bluetooth Smart (Read) is actually Bluetooth 4.0 also known as LE. Seeing the Nexus 6 has bluetooth 4.1 it is Smart Ready.

Hi Mikel,

I think VesNL's explanation is likely since I've confirmed with our Community Manager and product team that the Nexus 6 as well as the other Nexus products does support Bluetooth Smart Ready (BT Smart = BT Low Energy. Bluetooth Smart is the marketing name for BT LE).

Thanks to VesNL for also confirming this info.
