There are many new features introduced in Bluetooth 5.0 specification, including 2M PHY, LE coded PHY etc., but they are probably not supported by the devices which were already in the market before Bluetooth 5.0 specification was released. It becomes more important to know which features are supported by specified devices when designing peripherals connecting to them. Here is a description how to get such information from the Bluetooth SIG website.
Below is an example to get the listing information of Samsung Galaxy S8+, the model name is SM-G9550. You can search for any other listed devices following the steps below.
Type the model name into the search label, then click search. If the device is listed in Bluetooth SIG, the report including some major information (such as specification name) should be displayed.
Click the Declaration ID. Declaration details will show on the page.
Click “View ISC details”.

This would have been really useful, but unfortunately in order to view ICS Details you have to log in to a Bluetooth SIG account. And in order to create it, you have to register your company, a private email and other things which regular users just dont have. Shame.
