Wireless mobile technologies have upgraded enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve certainly faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL have 4G?
Yes. 4G is one of Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL embedded features.
How do you tell whether Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL is 4G-capable or not?
Nowadays, it is unavoidable to own 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 ways.
An easy way when you hold the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL 4G data is activated, then you will find a sign 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 sign means that you are not using 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t necessarily 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 look for 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 doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL?
If you want to enable your Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit 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 networks.
5- Choose the SIM card you want to manage.
6- Make sure to slide Data enabled option to turn it on.
7- Select Preferred network type.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially instituted in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made present in all populated 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 marked technology has fast internet speeds, achieving ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were described as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Why is 4G on the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL important?
4G was established to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology serves much improved downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can achieve as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another important criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to transmit data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Reduced latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now presents better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know 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 exploited for multiple purposes besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is essential to determine which frequencies must be used for what reason. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL, is whether it supports the bands offered in your area by your local mobile provider or not. The Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL4G-supported bands are :
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20 – Global;1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 26, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41 – Taiwan;1, 3, 5, 8, 40 – India;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 28 – USA/Brazil;.
