Cellular technologies have progressed enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL have 4G?
Absolutely, Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL has the necessary hardware and software to enable 4G bands.
How can I know whether Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL supports 4G or not?
The safest option to check the existence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another safe 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 signal bar.
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 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-capable.
How to switch to 4G on Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL?
If you need to turn on your Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Tap Connections.
4- Tap Mobile network.
5- Make sure to slide Data enabled option to turn it on.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
What 4G is on Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL?
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the entity that defined 4G in the first place, 4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies. It comes just after 3G and preceding 5G.
4G has very high internet uploading/downloading speeds, ten times more than 3G, Which is enormous. It also has 50ms latency, much less than 3G.
4G is not just one technology, but a set of technologies compatible with ITU specifications. It includes LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL
4G was established to deliver a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology offers much better 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 significant 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. Lesser latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the aid 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 augmented the use of Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL 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 5 ZE620KL?
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 exploited for different uses besides 4G (radio broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is essential 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 Zenfone 5 ZE620KL, is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local carrier or not. The Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL4G-enabled bands are :
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 – A version;1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 28, 38, 39, 41 – B version;1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 40 – C version;.
