Wireless mobile technologies have upgraded enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Studio Mini LTE 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Studio Mini LTE 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU Studio Mini LTE have 4G?
Yes. 4G is one of BLU Studio Mini LTE built-in attributes.
How can I know whether BLU Studio Mini LTE is able to use 4G or not?
The safest option to check the presence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another credible option is switching on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll know that simply by the appearance of a 4G or LTE sign in the status bar.
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 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-capable.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Studio Mini LTE?
If you need to turn on your BLU Studio Mini LTE 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Select Settings.
3- Make sure the the Mobile data switch is turned on.
4- Tap “More…”.
5- Tap on Mobile/Cellular networks.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you intend to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on BLU Studio Mini LTE
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation almost every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially started in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made present in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all cellular carriers around the globe.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards. According to the ITU, a 4G marked technology has fast internet speeds, achieving ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were described as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What distinguishes 4G on BLU Studio Mini LTE?
4G outruns the old generation in terms of speed and latency. It provides 10 times higher downloading and uploading internet speeds. The average 3G speed is around 5 Mbit/s, and the average 4G speed is about 50 Mbit/s.
In terms of latency, 3G grants a 100 ms latency, while 4G has half of that, meaning 50 ms, which is preferable because latency is a time delay between the sender and the receiver. Although the difference is only 0.05 seconds, it translates to a huge advantage in live interactions, such as gaming experiences and live broadcasting.
VoLTE is a standard that gave 4G a boost. It allows users to make improved voice calls and use the internet while talking on the portable. These advantages make BLU Studio Mini LTE 4G technology a great tool in your hand.
Get to know 4G bands in the BLU Studio Mini 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 called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used in the whole world.
What you should know as a consumer is that each carrier provides certain bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your BLU Studio Mini LTE supports the bands offered by your local carrier.
Here are the BLU Studio Mini LTE4G-supported bands:
