Bluetooth upgrade on my Xperia S phone

Hi,

My Xperia S phone is running on Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (build number 6.2.B1.96).  I am assuming my phone is currently on bluetooth version 2 or 3.  How do I upgrade the bluetooth to version 4?

I need to have my phone running on bluetooth 4 to be able to connect it to my car and personal fitness trackers.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Abs

Hi,

Sony Xperia S uses Bluetooth version 2.1 and unfortunately, it is not possible to upgrade it.

Sorry for not being clear earlier.  I am not looking fot the original specs coming from the Xperia S phone.  As with other smartphones, there have been few android software upgrades on my phone, and I am sure the bluetooth firmware also got updated alongside.  

How can I check the current bluetooth version running in my phone.  Any clues?

Thanks,

Abdul

I believe that's a hardware limitation not software.

Thanks for the replies.

Is it not true that, with each android version upgrade on Xperia S, bluetooth software/firmware will also be upgraded?
