The Bluetooth SIG has just officially approved Bluetooth High Data Throughput, or HDT for short, an optional feature in Bluetooth Core 7.0. HDT increases the maximum speed of Bluetooth LE from 2 Mbps to 7.5 Mbps, nearly 4 times higher than before. The faster the transmission, the less time the Bluetooth signal is on, so the device consumes less battery and the connection is more stable.

The first application is high-end wireless audio: lossless music, high resolution, multi-channel surround sound and spatial audio according to common standards, without the need for each company's own format. Smartwatches also sync health data faster. According to The Verge and Engadget, the first device with HDT is expected to launch in 2027.
