Mobile technologies have progressed enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve surely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU View 1 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU View 1 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU View 1 have 4G?
Yes. BLU View 1 is compatible with 4G bands.
How can I know whether BLU View 1 is able to use 4G or not?
It’s not a big deal to find out whether your mobile phone is 4G-capable, but it’s still essential to know how to do it. Because you don’t want to be left over with a phone lacking an essential technology nowadays.
You can check the information directly by googling the phone name or model number, and checking on the official website of the manufacturer or any other trustworthy website. If you are a classic person, you can check the user guide or the phone box.
Another easy option is checking the indication bar while the mobile data is on, if the BLU View 1 4G data is activated, then you will notice a 4G or LTE sign there. If it’s not present then you have to consider another way.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and look for network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone supports 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 View 1?
If you need to activate your BLU View 1 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Choose Settings.
3- Select Network & Internet.
4- Tap on Mobile network.
5- Make sure the Mobile data tile is turned on.
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
What 4G is on BLU View 1?
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 View 1
4G outruns the preceding generation in terms of speed and latency. It offers 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 View 1 4G technology a great tool in your pocket.
Get to know 4G bands in your BLU View 1
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by cellular carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each wireless service provider uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should assure that your BLU View 1 supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands worldwide, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU sectioned the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The BLU View 14G-enabled bands are:
2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 66, 71;.
