Checking the availability of 4G on Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL
Nowadays, it is necessary to buy a 4G-capable phone, because most internet users need a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G-enabledor not, you can use multiple methods.
An easy way when you pick the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL 4G data is activated, then you will find a symbol at the top of the display, in the status bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that icon means that you are not using 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t obligatorily signify that your phone doesn’t support 4G. And that takes us to the second option.
Check your phone specifications on the manual, or in the phone package. If you lose both of them, you can still check that on the official site (or any other trustworthy website) using the device name or model number.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and fetch network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone supports 4G you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
