Cellular technologies have advanced enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve certainly encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Vivo One 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Vivo One 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU Vivo One have 4G?
Yes. The BLU Vivo One is one of 4G eligible phones.
Checking the presence of 4G on BLU Vivo One
There are different ways to check the presence of 4G in your BLU Vivo One, or any other mobile. And assuming you’re not a techy person , I propose that you start by checking the phone package, network information is usually present there. Or you can simply google your phone model name and find out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will notice a 4G ot LTE sign up on the signal bar.
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 is 4G-enabled you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Vivo One?
If you want to activate your BLU Vivo One 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ 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 prefer to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on BLU Vivo One
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the entity that defined 4G in the first place, 4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies. It comes just after 3G and preceding 5G.
4G has very high internet uploading/downloading speeds, ten times more than 3G, Which is enormous. It also has 50ms latency, much less than 3G.
4G is not just one technology, but a set of technologies compatible with ITU specifications. It includes LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What are the advantages of 4G on BLU Vivo One?
4G is an evolved technology that drives a lot of potential for users. It enables much more speed than 3G technology. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G offers an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another advantage is the low latency. Although the difference in Latency is tiny, 4G latency made HD web streaming affordable, and a much more suitable video games experience.
4G also has clearer voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to browse the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with BLU Vivo One 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the BLU Vivo One
4G and other cellular networks use radio waves to communicate 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 called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used at the international level.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each cellular provider offers specific bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your BLU Vivo One supports the bands provided by your local cellular operator.
Here are the BLU Vivo One4G-enabled bands:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 28;.
