4G was deployed years ago in most of the globe and it now considered the fastest and most diffused mobile network. However, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding it. And some people still don’t understand its importance.
What is 4g? Is it better than 3G? Is BLU Life One X2 4G enabled? That’s what we will talk about in this article, besides everything related to BLU Life One X2 4G technology.
Does the BLU Life One X2 have 4G?
Yes. The BLU Life One X2 is one of 4G supporting phones.
How to check the availability of 4G on BLU Life One X2
Nowadays, it is necessary to get a 4G-enabled phone, since most internet users require a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G-capableor not, you can use multiple methods.
An easy way when you have the phone in your hand is just switching on the mobile data, if the BLU Life One X2 4G data is on, then you will notice an icon at the top of the display, in the indication bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that sign means that you are not using 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t obligatorily signify that your device doesn’t support 4G. And that leads us to the second way.
Check your phone specifications on the manual, or in the device package. If you lose both of them, you can still check that on the official website (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and find 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 doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Life One X2?
If you would like to switch on your BLU Life One X2 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- Choose Settings.
3- Verify that the Mobile data tile is turned on.
4- Select “More…”.
5- Tap on Mobile/Cellular networks.
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you intend to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what 4G is on BLU Life One X2
4G describes mobile network technology. It was defined by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used by mobile network operators. To call a system 4G it should meet some criteria.
The ‘G’ in 4G stands for generation, and 4 is the order of the generation, following 3G and preceding 5G. 4G networks should deliver internet speeds much faster than 3G, they also offer low latency, which is essential for some uses such as gaming services.
The most common protocols determined by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. BLU Life One X2 4G and 4G in most devices today use one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most utilized mobile network.
What are the advantages of 4G on BLU Life One X2?
4G is an evolved technology that drives a lot of potential for users. It enables much more speed than 3G technology. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G offers an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another advantage is the low latency. Although the difference in Latency is very small, 4G latency made HD web streaming possible, and a much better video games experience.
4G also has clearer voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to browse the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with BLU Life One X2 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your BLU Life One X2
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 exploited for several reasons besides 4G (radio broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is important to decide 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 Life One X2, is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local carrier or not. The BLU Life One X24G-supported bands are :
2, 4, 7, 12, 17;.
