Wireless mobile technologies have evolved enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Studio 7.0 LTE 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Studio 7.0 LTE 4G technology in the following article.
is the BLU Studio 7.0 LTE4G-enabled phone?
Yes. BLU Studio 7.0 LTE is compatible with 4G networks.
How can I know whether BLU Studio 7.0 LTE 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 trusty 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 indication bar.
Another way is to check the settings: open 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 is 4G-enabled you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Studio 7.0 LTE?
If you intend to turn on your BLU Studio 7.0 LTE 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary 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- Tap “More…”.
5- Choose Mobile/Cellular networks.
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on BLU Studio 7.0 LTE
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 specification of 4G technology and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G is now the main cellular technology endorsed by most mobile phones in the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its ancestor 3G. Thus, its release widened the use of smartphones. These days, phone users can do almost the same tasks that were only practical on computers before the emergence of 4G.
The best known protocol labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it , such as LTE-A. Usually, people confuse the two terms. For BLU Studio 7.0 LTE 4G to be useful, it should be suitable for the protocols used by local wireless service providers.
What are the advantages of 4G on BLU Studio 7.0 LTE?
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It offers download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times more than 3G. And it allows more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very necessary for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The development of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and browse the internet at the same time, with even better voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with BLU Studio 7.0 LTE 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your BLU Studio 7.0 LTE?
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals known as bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used at the international level.
What you should know as a consumer is that each cellular operator permits certain bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your BLU Studio 7.0 LTE supports the bands offered by your local mobile operator.
Here are the BLU Studio 7.0 LTE4G-supported bands:
2, 3, 4, 7, 12, 17, 28;.
