Mobile technologies have advanced enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve absolutely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Studio Touch 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Studio Touch 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU Studio Touch have 4G?
Yes. BLU has embedded 4G in BLU Studio Touch phone.
How do you tell whether BLU Studio Touch is 4G-capable or not?
Before buying your device, you want to make sure that it supports 4G. You have so many options 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 couch trying to find the most appealing phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you desire to verify your current phone, just turn on the cellular data; if the BLU Studio Touch 4G data is on, then you will immediately notice immediately see a 4G symbol 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 fetch 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 Touch?
If you want to enable your BLU Studio Touch 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- Tap Settings.
3- Verify that the Mobile data tile is turned on.
4- Choose “More…”.
5- Select Mobile/Cellular networks.
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- 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.
Introduction to 4G technology on BLU Studio Touch
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially launched in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made available in all populated areas. And by “they” we mean all mobile network operators around the world.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) specifications. According to the ITU, a 4G tagged technology has fast internet speeds, reaching ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were identified as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Advantages of 4G on BLU Studio Touch
4G bypasses the preceding generation in terms of speed and latency. It has 10 times better 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 offers a 100 ms latency, on the other hand, 4G has half of that, meaning 50 ms, which is better since latency is a time delay between the sender and the receiver. Although the difference is only 0.05 seconds, it presents an enormous advantage in live interactions, like gaming experiences and live broadcasting.
VoLTE is a protocol that gave 4G a boost. It permits users to have better voice calls and browse the internet while speaking on the phone. These advantages make BLU Studio Touch 4G technology a great tool in your pocket.
Get to know 4G bands in the BLU Studio Touch
4G and other cellular networks use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been allocated certain frequency intervals termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all over the globe.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each cellular operator grants specific bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your BLU Studio Touch supports the bands provided by your local mobile provider.
Here are the BLU Studio Touch4G-enabled bands:
2, 4, 7, 12, 17;.
