Why ESP32C5?

I’m researching hardware options for an upcoming project, and the ESP32 family appears to be the best fit for our current requirements.

For years, a major drawback of Espressif chips was limited support to 2.4GHz WiFi only. Why does this matter? Having a 2.4GHz device on a WiFi network degrades performance for all other devices, forcing users to set up separate WiFi routers just for 2.4GHz devices. Additionally, the initial configuration proved frustrating—when your phone is on 5GHz, the ESP Touch protocol doesn’t work reliably.
