Mobile technologies have upgraded enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve certainly faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Studio Energy 2 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Studio Energy 2 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU Studio Energy 2 have 4G?
Yes. BLU Studio Energy 2 has all the conditions to connect to 4G networks.
Checking the presence of 4G on BLU Studio Energy 2
Before buying your phone, you want to make sure that it enables 4G. You have so many methods to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious way is to check the criteria on the user guide or in the phone’s box.
If you don’t have them or you are still lying on your sofa trying to pick the perfect device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you want to check your current phone, just turn on the mobile data; if the BLU Studio Energy 2 4G data is available, then you will immediately see immediately see a 4G icon on the top of the screen. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be deceptive if you didn’t activate a 4G plan, or you are out of coverage.
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 is 4G-enabled 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 Studio Energy 2?
If you intend to activate your BLU Studio Energy 2 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- Choose All settings.
3- Tap on Mobile networks.
4- Verify that Mobile data tile is turned on.
5- Select Network Mode.
6- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to switch 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 Studio Energy 2
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication. It was first released in 2009 in South Korea, and it was deployed after that all around the world until it became the fastest and most used network in mobiles.
The provider of 4G network specifications is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it has also identified 5G, and 3G specifications before that. The ITU specifies what internet speeds and what latency limits are acceptable to call a network protocol a 4G.
Many protocols passed the test and qualified as 4G, the most important are LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on BLU Studio Energy 2
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 practicable, and a much more appropriate 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 Studio Energy 2 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your BLU Studio Energy 2
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is quantified in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are exploited for several reasons besides 4G (television broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is essential to identify which frequencies must be used for what use. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to certain uses.
What you should consider as a user of BLU Studio Energy 2, is whether it supports the bands offered in your area by your local mobile operator or not. The BLU Studio Energy 24G-enabled bands are :
2, 4, 7, 17;.
