4G was deployed years ago in most of the world and it now recognized as the fastest and most diffused cellular network. However, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding it. And some people still don’t understand its importance.
What is 4g? Is it better than 3G? Is Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 4G enabled? That’s what we will talk about in this article, besides everything related to Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 4G technology.
Does the Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 have 4G?
Absolutely, Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 has the necessary hardware and software to enable 4G bands.
How to check the existence of 4G on Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550
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 means.
An easy way when you hold the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 4G data is activated, then you will notice 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 symbol means that you are not using 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t certainly signify that your phone doesn’t support 4G. And that takes us to the second method.
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 reliable website) using the device name or model number.
Another way is to check the settings: open 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 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550?
If you would like to switch on your Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary 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- Select 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 want to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550
4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies, it comes just after 3G and before 5G. Although 5G is considered the highest technology available in the market, 4G is still the fastest most deployed technology.
4G comes with fast uploading and downloading speeds, overstepping the previous 3G standards, and it also has better latency, allowing users to do much more activities using their phones, things such as live conferencing.
To be more precise, 4G is a designation named by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it is also a commercial term used by telecommunication companies to express a set of protocols used in their networks.
One of the most famous protocols is LTE and LTE-Advanced, So for Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 4G to be useful, it should be suitable with the protocols used by local mobile network operators.
Advantages of 4G on Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550
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 tiny, 4G latency made HD web streaming achievable, and a much more suitable 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 Zoom ZX550 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550?
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by telecommunications companies. Why this matters to you? It matters since each phone carrier uses different bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX550 supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to regularize the bands on a global scale, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU sectioned the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Asus Zenfone Zoom ZX5504G-enabled bands are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 19, 20, 28, 29;38, 39, 40, 41;.
