Internet on mobiles has faced a lot of developments, and different cellular technology generations, one of them is 4G technology. So what is 4G? Is BLU Pure XL 4G capable? Let’s have a deep dive into the subject, and know everything related to BLU Pure XL 4G technology.
Does the BLU Pure XL have 4G?
Absolutely, BLU Pure XL has the required hardware and software to support 4G bands.
How do you tell whether BLU Pure XL is 4G-enabled or not?
Before buying your device, you want to make sure that it supports 4G. You have so many ways to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious method is to check the specifications on the manual or in the device’s package.
If you lost them or you are still lying on your sofa trying to pick the ideal phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you want to verify your current phone, just turn on the cellular data; if the BLU Pure XL 4G data is in use, then you will immediately notice immediately see a 4G sign on the top of the display. You might notice LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this method might be misleading if you are not on a 4G offer, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and search for 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 isn’t 4G-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Pure XL?
If you would like to switch on your BLU Pure XL 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Tap All settings.
3- Tap on Mobile networks.
4- Verify that Mobile data switch is turned on.
5- Select Network Mode.
6- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on BLU Pure XL
4G describes cellular network technology. It was prescribed by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and utilized by wireless service providers. To name a system 4G it should meet some specifications.
The ‘G’ in 4G is the first letter of the word generation, and 4 means the fourth one, just after 3G and before 5G. 4G networks must grant internet speeds much better than 3G, they also grant low latency, which is principal for some uses such as gaming services.
The most widespread protocols specified by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. BLU Pure XL 4G and 4G in most phones today rely on one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most deployed cellular network.
What distinguishes 4G on BLU Pure XL?
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It provides download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it gives more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, ranging from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very important for some use cases like video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet concurrently, with even improved voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with BLU Pure XL 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the BLU Pure XL
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by cellular carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters since each mobile network operator uses distinct bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should assure that your BLU Pure XL supports the bands offered in your area.
It’s hard to unite the bands internationally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU segmented the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The BLU Pure XL4G-supported bands are:
2, 4, 7, 17;.
