Wireless mobile technologies have progressed enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve absolutely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Vivo Go 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Vivo Go 4G technology in the following article.
is the BLU Vivo Go4G-capable phone?
Yes. BLU has included 4G in BLU Vivo Go phone.
How do you tell whether BLU Vivo Go is 4G-capable or not?
Nowadays, it is unavoidable 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 Vivo Go 4G data is activated, then you will find a symbol 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 sign means that you are not connected to 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t obligatorily mean that your phone doesn’t enable 4G. And that takes us to the second way.
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: open your settings and fetch 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 either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Vivo Go?
If you intend to turn on your BLU Vivo Go 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- Choose Settings.
3- Tap Network & Internet.
4- Choose 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 switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
What 4G is on BLU Vivo Go?
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially instituted in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made present in all populated areas. And by “they” we mean all phone network operators around the world.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) specifications. 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 identified as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on BLU Vivo Go
4G was created to offer a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology provides much stronger downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another significant criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Lesser latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now offers better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to browse the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of BLU Vivo Go 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your BLU Vivo Go?
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 applications besides 4G (television broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is vital to identify which frequencies must be used for what reason. 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 Vivo Go, is whether it supports the bands offered in your area by your local cellular operator or not. The BLU Vivo Go4G-enabled bands are :
1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 12, 17, 28;.
