Cellular technologies have evolved enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve absolutely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Energy X LTE 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Energy X LTE 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU Energy X LTE have 4G?
Yes. BLU has embedded 4G in BLU Energy X LTE phone.
How can I know whether BLU Energy X LTE supports 4G or not?
Before buying your phone, you want to make sure that it enables 4G. You have so many options to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious method is to check the criteria on the user guide or in the phone’s box.
If you don’t have them or you are still lying on your couch trying to pick the best device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you desire to check your current phone, just turn on the mobile data; if the BLU Energy X LTE 4G data is on, then you will immediately see immediately see a 4G icon on the top of the screen. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be deceptive if you didn’t activate a 4G plan, or you are out of coverage.
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 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 BLU Energy X LTE?
If you intend to turn on your BLU Energy X LTE 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- Tap All settings.
3- Select Mobile networks.
4- Verify that Mobile data switch is turned on.
5- Select Network Mode.
6- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what 4G is on BLU Energy X LTE
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+.
What distinguishes 4G on BLU Energy X LTE?
4G was developed to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology grants much enhanced downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can achieve as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to transfer data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. 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 offers better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to navigate the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G augmented the use of BLU Energy X LTE 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in the BLU Energy X LTE
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used at the world level.
What you should know as a consumer is that each cellular provider grants certain bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your BLU Energy X LTE supports the bands offered by your local mobile provider.
Here are the BLU Energy X LTE4G-supported bands:
2, 4, 7;.
