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 XL 4G enabled? That’s what we will talk about in this article, besides everything related to BLU Life XL 4G technology.
Does the BLU Life XL have 4G?
Yes. The BLU Life XL is one of 4G enabled phones.
How can I know whether BLU Life XL is able to use 4G or not?
The safest option to check the existence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another safe option is turning on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll find that out simply by the presence of a 4G or LTE sign in the signal bar.
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 has 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 XL?
If you need to activate your BLU Life XL 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- Make sure the the Mobile data switch is turned on.
4- Choose “More…”.
5- Select Mobile/Cellular networks.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on BLU Life XL
It is the term used to describe fourth-generation of cellular communication technology. It was defined in 2008 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an organization that specifies the specs of 4G technology and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G is now the higher cellular technology used by most mobile phones in the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its ancestor 3G. Thus, its release extended the use of mobile phones. These days, phone users can do almost the same tasks that were only achieved on computers before the development of 4G.
The best known protocol labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it (e.g. LTE-A). Usually, people confuse the two terms. For BLU Life XL 4G to be useful, it should be correspondent to the protocols used by local mobile network operators.
Why is 4G on the BLU Life XL important?
4G is a developed technology that enabled a lot of possibilities for users. It offers much more speed than 3G network. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G has an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another benefit is the low latency. Despite the fact that the difference in Latency is only a few milliseconds, 4G latency made HD web streaming achievable, and a much more appropriate video games experience.
4G also has better quality voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also enables you to check out the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with BLU Life XL 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your BLU Life XL
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters because each phone carrier uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your BLU Life XL supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands at the international level, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The BLU Life XL4G-enabled bands are:
2, 4, 7, 12, 17;.
