Wireless mobile technologies have evolved 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 4 Max Plus ZC554KL 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL have 4G?
Yes. Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL has all the conditions to support 4G networks.
Checking the availability of 4G on Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL
It is necessary to check whether your phone supports 4G before purchasing it. The easiest option is to verify your phone specifications in your phone box, or in the user guide. If you don’t have the box or lost the manual, you can see your phone specifications on the official website of the manufacturer or any other reliable website.
The second method is verifying the signal bar. If the Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL 4G data is turned on, you will notice a 4G (or an LTE) sign at the top of the device’s display. Note that the absence of that icon doesn’t necessarily mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G.
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 isn’t 4G-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL?
If you intend to enable your Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select 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 prefer to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication. It was first released in 2009 in South Korea, and it was deployed after that all around the world until it became the fastest and most used network in mobiles.
The provider of 4G network specifications is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it has also identified 5G, and 3G specifications before that. The ITU specifies what internet speeds and what latency limits are acceptable to call a network protocol a 4G.
Many protocols passed the test and qualified as 4G, the most important are LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What are the advantages of 4G on Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL?
4G is an evolved technology that drives a lot of possibilities 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 benefit is the low latency. Although the difference in Latency is only a few milliseconds, 4G latency made HD web streaming achievable, and a much more appropriate video games experience.
4G also has better quality voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to check out the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL?
4G and other cellular technologies use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all over the world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each cellular operator provides certain bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you should make sure that your Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL supports the bands provided by your local cellular provider.
Here are the Asus Zenfone 4 Max Plus ZC554KL4G-enabled bands:
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 40;.
