4G was deployed years ago in most of the globe and it now considered the fastest and most diffused mobile network. However, there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding it. And some people still don’t realize its importance.
What is 4g? Is it better than 3G? Is BLU Studio X10L 4G enabled? That’s what we will talk about in this article, besides everything related to BLU Studio X10L 4G technology.
Does the BLU Studio X10L have 4G?
Yes. BLU has integrated 4G in BLU Studio X10L phone.
How do you tell whether BLU Studio X10L is 4G-enabled or not?
Nowadays, it is inevitable to purchase a 4G-capable device, because most internet users need a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G-enabledor not, you can use multiple means.
An easy method when you hold the device in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the BLU Studio X10L 4G data is activated, then you will see an icon at the top of the screen, in the status bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that icon means that you are not connected to 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that your phone doesn’t enable 4G. And that takes us to the second option.
Check your phone criteria on the user guide, or in the phone box. If you don’t have any of them, you can still check that on the official site (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
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 has 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 Studio X10L?
If you want to enable your BLU Studio X10L 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- Tap Settings.
3- Tap Network & Internet.
4- Choose Mobile network.
5- Make sure the Mobile data switch is turned on.
6- Tap Preferred network type.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on BLU Studio X10L
4G is the fourth generation of cellular communication technologies, it comes just after 3G and before 5G. Although 5G is considered the strongest technology existing in the world, 4G is still the fastest most spread technology.
4G has fast uploading and downloading speeds, overstepping the previous 3G standards, and it also has decreased latency, allowing users to do much more things using their phones, things such as live conferencing.
To be more accurate, 4G is a designation named by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it is also a commercial expression used by wireless service providers to promote a set of protocols used in their networks.
One of the most famous protocols is LTE and LTE-Advanced, So for BLU Studio X10L 4G to be useful, it should be compatible with the protocols used by local mobile network operators.
What are the advantages of 4G on BLU Studio X10L?
4G surpasses the antecedent generation in terms of speed and latency. It grants 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 vast 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 cellphone. These advantages make BLU Studio X10L 4G technology a great tool in your hand.
Get to know 4G bands in your BLU Studio X10L
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 used for several uses besides 4G (television broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is important to decide 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 X10L, is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local mobile operator or not. The BLU Studio X10L4G-enabled bands are :
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 28;.
