A lot of people who love using gadgets will probably know the difference between the two. Bluetooth will allow different gadgets to connect with each other so that they can send images and other media files easily. The WiFi is something that gadgets can connect to so that they will also be connected to the internet. The range of the two is also different from each other.

WiFi is known to have a longer range because it can have a range of up to 100 meters. The power consumption of the Bluetooth is low and your gadget will not be too affected if you would use this often. The WiFi power consumption is high and this is why people would need to charge their gadgets often to stay connected.
