Wireless mobile technologies have advanced enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG Lucid 4G VS840 enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to LG Lucid 4G VS840 technology in the following article.
Does the LG Lucid 4G VS840 have 4G?
Absolutely, LG Lucid 4G VS840 has the required hardware and software to support 4G bands.
How do you tell whether a phone is able to use4G or not?
Before buying your phone, you want to make sure that it supports 4G. You have so many ways to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious option is to check the criteria on the user guide or in the phone’s box.
If you don’t have them or you are still lying at home trying to choose the perfect phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you want to check your current phone, just turn on the cellular data; if the phone 4G data is in use, then you will immediately see immediately see a 4G symbol on the top of the screen. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be deceptive if you are not on a 4G offer, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and find network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone is 4G-capable you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on LG Lucid 4G VS840?
If you intend to switch on your LG Lucid 4G VS840 network, then follow the instructions (it might differ a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Tap Wireless & networks.
4- Select Mobile networks.
5- check Data enabled box.
6- Tap System select.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example).
Get to know what 4G is on LG Lucid 4G VS840
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation almost every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially unleashed in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made present in all populated areas. And by “they” we mean all mobile network operators around the globe.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) guidelines. According to the ITU, a 4G marked technology has fast internet speeds, achieving ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were labelled as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What distinguishes 4G on LG Lucid 4G VS840?
4G was developed to offer a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology grants much improved downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can achieve as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another significant criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Lower latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now grants better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G widened the use of LG Lucid 4G VS840 technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your LG Lucid 4G VS840?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by telecommunications companies. Why this matters to you? It matters because each telecommunications company uses different bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should guarantee that your LG Lucid 4G VS840 supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to standardize the bands globally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The LG Lucid 4G VS840-enabled bands are:
