Cellular technologies have progressed 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 G90 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU G90 4G technology in the following article.
is the BLU G904G-compatible phone?
Absolutely, BLU G90 has the required hardware and software to support 4G bands.
How to check the availability of 4G on BLU G90
There are various ways to check the availability of 4G in your BLU G90, or any other mobile. And assuming you’re not a techy person , I recommend that you start by checking the phone package, network information is usually displayed there. Or you can simply google 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 signal 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 is 4G-enabled you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on BLU G90?
If you intend to turn on your BLU G90 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- Select Settings.
3- Choose Mobile network.
4- Verify that Mobile data is On.
5- Select Advanced.
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you intend to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what 4G is on BLU G90
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation almost every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially started in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made available in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all phone carriers around the globe.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards. According to the ITU, a 4G tagged technology has fast internet speeds, reaching ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were described as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What distinguishes 4G on BLU G90?
4G bypasses the previous generation in terms of speed and latency. It offers 10 times higher downloading and uploading internet speeds. The average 3G speed is around 5 Mbit/s, and the average 4G speed is about 50 Mbit/s.
In terms of latency, 3G grants a 100 ms latency, while 4G has half of that, meaning 50 ms, which is preferable because latency is a time delay between the sender and the receiver. Although the difference is only 0.05 seconds, it translates to a vast advantage in live interactions, such as gaming experiences and live broadcasting.
VoLTE is a standard that gave 4G a boost. It allows users to make improved voice calls and surf the internet while talking on the cellphone. These advantages make BLU G90 4G technology a great tool in your hand.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the BLU G90?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should find out what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is measured in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are utilized for several applications besides 4G (radio broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is necessary to identify which frequencies must be used for what purpose. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of BLU G90, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local mobile provider or not. The BLU G904G-supported bands are :
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 28;.
