Mobile technologies have developed enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG W41 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to LG W41 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG W41 have 4G?
Yes. LG W41 is compatible with 4G bands.
How do you tell whether LG W41 is 4G-enabled or not?
It is important to check whether your phone has 4G before buying it. The easiest option is to check your phone specifications in your phone box, or in the manual. If you don’t possess the package or didn’t find the manual, you can read your phone criteria on the official website of the manufacturer or any other dependable website.
The second option is verifying the signal bar. If the LG W41 4G data is turned on, you will find a 4G (or an LTE) symbol at the top of the phone’s display. Note that the absence of that icon doesn’t necessarily mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and look for network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone has 4G you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on LG W41?
If you need to activate your LG W41 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Select Network & Internet.
4- Choose Mobile network.
5- Select Advanced.
6- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
7- Select Preferred network type.
8- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
What 4G is on LG W41?
4G describes cellular network technology. It was prescribed by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and utilized by telecommunication companies. To name a system 4G it should meet some standards.
The ‘G’ in 4G stands for generation, and 4 means the fourth one, following 3G and before 5G. 4G networks have to deliver internet speeds much better than 3G, they also provide low latency, which is vital for some uses such as gaming services.
The most prevalent protocols defined by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. LG W41 4G and 4G in most phones today use one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most deployed cellular network.
Feature of 4G technology on LG W41
4G has all the features of 3G at more speed. It allows download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it provides more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very essential for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet concurrently, with even more appropriate voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG W41 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the LG W41
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is measured in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are exploited for numerous applications besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is essential to determine which frequencies must be used for what use. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of LG W41, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local cellular provider or not. The LG W414G-supported bands are :
1, 3, 5, 8, 40, 41;.
