Cellular technologies have improved enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve surely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU G80 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU G80 4G technology in the following article.
is the BLU G804G-capable phone?
Yes. BLU G80 is 4G compatible phone
How do you tell whether BLU G80 is 4G-enabled or not?
There are different ways to check the affordability of 4G in your BLU G80, or any other phone. And presuming you’re not a techy person , I suggest that you start by checking the phone container, network information is usually illustrated there. Or you can simply search on google using your phone model name and figure 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 notice a 4G ot LTE sign up on the indication 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 has 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 BLU G80?
If you would like to enable your BLU G80 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Tap Settings.
3- Select “More…”.
4- Select Mobile networks.
5- Make sure the Mobile data tile is turned on.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on BLU G80
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 BLU G80
4G was implemented to offer a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology provides 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 is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another important 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. Reduced latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the aid of the VoLTE standard, 4G now grants 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 augmented the use of BLU G80 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your BLU G80?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters since each cellular carrier uses distinct bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your BLU G80 supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to unite the bands worldwide, 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 BLU G804G-supported bands are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 28;.
