You're right, because the nRF52 series are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, they can't stream music at all :-) Music streaming is done via Bluetooth Classic (as of now). BLE != Bluetooth Classic

That's not true. BLE can stream music now, it's in the Bluetooth 5 standard. The nRF52 isn't great for it, there's nRF53 for that, but it's possible

I was under the assumption that BLE chips have regular BL support as well as a fallback for when you actually want to use the thing for something productive. Is that not the case or are most phone manufacturers just lying while putting two chips on devices?

Like if a chip supports Bluetooth 5.1 that should include both, no?
