Honor 5X 3G is the third generation of wireless network technology that grants high speed bandwidth (high data transfer rates) to Honor 5X mobile devices. In spite of it has since been put to extensive use in business fields, 3G technology was made firstly for the mobile phone applications.
Can Honor 5X Use 3G Networks?
Please note that 3G network is available on Honor5X.
How to Switch to 3G on Honor 5X ?
To turn On/Off 3G on Honor 5X apply these steps:
1) Select Settings
2) Select Wireless & networks
3) Choose Mobile network
4) Choose Preferred network type
5) Hit your preferred option.
Main Way to Identify if Honor 5X Is 3G
Because these two ways are working on both iOS and Android operating systems, we can consider it as the main ways to know if Honor5X 3G network is available or not.
Way-1
There is an icon on the top of the Honor 5X refers if 3G network is available or not.
Way-2
To identify if your Honor5X supports 3G network or not, you may use this method:
1) Dial *#06# on your phone to display Honor 5X IMEI number.
2) Browse www.imei.info, write your IMEI number and choose Check.
3) You’ll see a report. Look at the LTE section – it will display all the frequencies that are supported by your Honor 5X. 3G service works on the 2100MHz frequency, so if you see the number 2100, then your Honor5X is 3G compatible.
Please note that you can always check the phone’s user manual.
Note: LTE Option on mobile settings generally refers to 4G network.
Technical Information About 3G on Honor 5X 3G Network
LTE Meaning:
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless broadband communication used for cellular devices and data terminals. LTE frequencies are:
* 3G networks: 900 MHz and 2100 MHz (band 1 and 39).
4G networks: 800 MHz (band 20), 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz (band 7 and 38).
* 5G networks: 700 MHz (band 28) and 3500 MHz (band 78).
Note: LTE Option in mobiles settings generally refers to 4G connections.
Knowing More About MHz:
MHz (Megahertz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including mobile phone communications.
Understanding Band:
The band is an interval in the frequency domain, delimited by a lower and upper values of transmission capacity over network communication systems. However, in general we are using bandwidth word to refer to the capacity of a network.
