Wireless mobile technologies have developed enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Xiaomi Black Shark 4S 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Xiaomi Black Shark 4S 4G technology in the following article.
Does Xiaomi Black Shark 4S have 4G?
Yes. 4G technology is one of the Xiaomi Black Shark 4S principal attributes.
How can I know whether the Xiaomi Black Shark 4S is able to use 4G or not?
There are several ways to check the affordability of 4G in your Xiaomi Black Shark 4S, or any other mobile. And assuming you’re not a techy person , I recommend that you start by checking the phone container, network information is usually provided there. Or you can simply search on google using your phone model name and find out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will observe a 4G ot LTE sign up on the notification bar.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and find 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 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G capable.
How to switch to 4G on Xiaomi Black Shark 4S?
If you need to turn on your Xiaomi Black Shark 4S 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Select SIM cards & Mobile Networks.
4- Choose the sim card you want to manage (the one used for data if your device is dual sim).
5- Select Preferred network type.
6- Select 4G or LTE.
Note: If you prefer to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on Xiaomi Black Shark 4S
4G describes cellular network technology. It was introduced by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used by wireless carriers. To call a system 4G it should meet some specifications.
The ‘G’ in 4G is the first letter of the word generation, and 4 means the fourth one, just after 3G and preceding 5G. 4G networks must deliver internet speeds much faster than 3G, they also grant low latency, which is vital for some uses such as gaming services.
The most widespread protocols determined by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. Xiaomi Black Shark 4S 4G and 4G in most phones today use one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most utilized cellular network.
Advantages of 4G on Xiaomi Black Shark 4S
4G was developed to provide a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology grants much enhanced downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Low 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 provides better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to browse the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of Xiaomi Black Shark 4S 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 Xiaomi Black Shark 4S?
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by phone carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each wireless service provider uses different bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your Xiaomi Black Shark 4S supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to unite 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 divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Xiaomi Black Shark 4S 4G supported bands are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
