Cellular technologies have developed enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is alcatel Flash Plus 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to alcatel Flash Plus 4G technology in the following article.
Does the alcatel Flash Plus have 4G?
Yes. alcatel Flash Plus has all the conditions to connect to 4G networks.
How do you tell whether alcatel Flash Plus is 4G-enabled or not?
There are different ways to check the existence of 4G in your alcatel Flash Plus, or any other mobile. And assuming you’re not a techy person , I suggest that you start by checking the phone package, network information is usually provided there. Or you can simply google your phone model name and find out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will see a 4G ot LTE sign up on the status bar.
Another way is to check the settings: open 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.
Definition of 4G on alcatel Flash Plus
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 alcatel Flash Plus
4G has all the features of 3G at more speed. It offers download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it allows more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Despite the fact that it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very essential for some use cases like video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The emergence of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and surf the internet in parallel, with even more suitable voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with alcatel Flash Plus 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in your alcatel Flash Plus?
4G and other mobile networks use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent 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 on a global scale.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile provider provides certain bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your alcatel Flash Plus supports the bands provided by your local mobile operator.
Here are the alcatel Flash Plus4G-enabled bands:
1, 3, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
