Mobile technologies have advanced 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 G9 Pro 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU G9 Pro 4G technology in the following article.
is the BLU G9 Pro4G-capable phone?
The answer is yes. BLU G9 Pro can use 4G network technology.
Checking the presence of 4G on BLU G9 Pro
The safest option to check the availability of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another reliable option is switching 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 indication bar.
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 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 G9 Pro?
If you intend to activate your BLU G9 Pro 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Choose Settings.
3- Tap Network & Internet.
4- Tap on Mobile network.
5- Make sure the Mobile data tile is turned on.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on BLU G9 Pro
4G is the fourth generation of cellular communication technologies, it comes just after 3G and before 5G. Although 5G is considered the strongest technology existing in the world, 4G is still the fastest most diffused technology.
4G has fast uploading and downloading speeds, overstepping the previous 3G standards, and it also has lower latency, allowing users to do much more things using their phones, things such as live conferencing.
To be more specific, 4G is a designation named by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it is also a commercial term used by telecommunication companies to exhibit a set of protocols used in their networks.
One of the most famous protocols is LTE and LTE-Advanced, So for BLU G9 Pro 4G to be useful, it should be correspondent with the protocols used by local wireless carriers.
What are the advantages of 4G on BLU G9 Pro?
4G was created to provide a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology allows much higher 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 essential criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can promote latency as the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Lower 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 surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G increased the use of BLU G9 Pro 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 G9 Pro?
4G and other cellular networks use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been allocated certain frequency intervals called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all over the world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile operator provides specific bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your BLU G9 Pro supports the bands provided by your local mobile provider.
Here are the BLU G9 Pro4G-enabled bands:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 28;.
