Hello Troyson,

This depends on the controller capabilities in your phone and the smart phone app implementation. A device can have BT5 support without having support for all the features supported in BT5 (long range). There is listed support for scanning on 1 Mbps and Coded in the android API, but this will not work without physical support in the radio and controller.

Also read this thread from Apple Developer Forums:

I am not aware of any apps with support for coded PHY, but it may be out there.
