4G was deployed years ago in most of the world and it now considered the fastest and most spread mobile network. However, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding it. And some people still don’t appreciate its importance.
What is 4g? Is it better than 3G? Is LG W30 4G enabled? That’s what we will talk about in this article, besides everything related to LG W30 4G technology.
Does the LG W30 have 4G?
Yes. LG W30 has all the conditions to support 4G networks.
How to check the availability of 4G on LG W30
The safest option to check the existence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another credible option is switching on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll know that simply by the presence of a 4G or LTE sign in the notification bar.
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-enabled you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on LG W30?
If you want to activate your LG W30 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Choose Network & Internet.
4- Choose Mobile network.
5- Choose Advanced.
6- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
7- Tap Preferred network type.
8- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on LG W30
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the entity that defined 4G in the first place, 4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies. It comes just after 3G and preceding 5G.
4G has very high internet uploading/downloading speeds, ten times more than 3G, Which is enormous. It also has 50ms latency, much less than 3G.
4G is not just one technology, but a set of technologies compatible with ITU specifications. It includes LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on LG W30
4G is an evolved technology that enabled a lot of possibilities for users. It offers much more speed than 3G network. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G offers an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another advantage is the low latency. Although the difference in Latency is tiny, 4G latency made HD web streaming achievable, and a much better video games experience.
4G also has clearer voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also enables you to browse the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG W30 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the LG W30
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used in the whole world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile provider provides specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your LG W30 supports the bands provided by your local cellular provider.
Here are the LG W304G-supported bands:
1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41;.
