Mobile devices that include the BCM4358 should also perform better as wi-fi and bluetooth at the same time turned on. By interference, the two wireless technologies each other’s performance negatively. This interference is at the BCM4358 is reduced by 50%, though it is not clear where the manufacturer himself compares.
