Cellular technologies have improved enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel) enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel) technology in the following article.
Does the Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel) have 4G?
Yes. Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel) is compatible with 4G technology.
How to check the presence of 4G on a phone
The safest option to check the presence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another trusty option is turning on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll know that simply by the appearance of a 4G or LTE sign in the status bar.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to 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 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 Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel)?
If you intend to switch on your Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel) network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Choose “More…”.
4- Choose Cellular/Mobile networks.
5- Make sure to tick Data enabled option.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel)
It is the term used to describe fourth-generation wireless technology. It was defined in 2008 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency that defines the characteristics of 4G technology and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G is now the strongest wireless technology adopted by most mobile phones around the globe.
4G comes with speeds faster than its precedent 3G. Thus, its emergence extended the use of phones. At present, phone users can do almost the same tasks that were only achieved on computers before the development of 4G.
The best known protocol labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it , such as LTE-A. Usually, people confuse the two terms. For Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel) to be adequate, it should be suitable for the protocols used by local wireless carriers.
Feature of 4G technology on Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel)
4G is a developed technology that enabled a lot of potential for users. It enables much more speed than 3G network. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G has an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another advantage is the low latency. Despite the fact that the difference in Latency is tiny, 4G latency made HD web streaming attainable, 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 Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel) technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel)?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should find out what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is quantified in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are used for different purposes besides 4G (radio broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is important to identify which frequencies must be used for what reason. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to certain uses.
What you should consider as a user of Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel), is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local cellular operator or not. The Asus PadFone mini 4G (Intel)-enabled bands are :
1, 3, 7, 8, 28 – Taiwan;1, 3, 7, 8, 20 – EU;.
