Mobile technologies have upgraded enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Archos Diamond 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to Archos Diamond 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Archos Diamond have 4G?
Yes. Archos Diamond supports 4G Network.
How do you tell whether Archos Diamond is 4G-enabled or not?
There are several ways to check the existence of 4G in your Archos Diamond, or any other phone. And presuming you’re not a techy person , I recommend that you start by checking the phone box, network information is usually present there. Or you can simply search on google using your phone model name and figure 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 observe a 4G ot LTE sign up on the status bar.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and search 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 Archos Diamond?
If you would like to turn on your Archos Diamond 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- Tap Settings.
3- Select Network & internet.
4- Select Mobile network.
5- Tap Advanced.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G).
Definition of 4G on Archos Diamond
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation almost every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially introduced in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made available in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all mobile carriers around the globe.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) specifications. According to the ITU, a 4G labeled technology has fast internet speeds, fulfilling ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were referred as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What are the advantages of 4G on Archos Diamond?
4G is an evolved technology that drives a lot of potential for users. It has much more speed than 3G technology. 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 only a few milliseconds, 4G latency made HD web streaming practical, and a much more appropriate video games experience.
4G also has clearer voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to browse the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with Archos Diamond 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your Archos Diamond
Before talking about 4G bands, you should find out 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 utilized for several purposes besides 4G (radio broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is vital to determine which frequencies must be used for what use. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of Archos Diamond, is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local cellular operator or not. The Archos Diamond4G-supported bands are :
1, 3, 7, 20, 28;.
