Internet on mobiles has witnessed a lot of developments, and different wireless technology generations, one of them is 4G technology. So what is 4G? Is BLU Vivo X5 4G capable? Let’s have a deep dive into the subject, and find out everything related to BLU Vivo X5 4G technology.
Does the BLU Vivo X5 have 4G?
Yes. BLU has integrated 4G in BLU Vivo X5 phone.
How can I know whether BLU Vivo X5 is able to use 4G or not?
Before buying your phone, you want to make sure that it enables 4G. You have so many ways to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious way is to check the criteria on the user guide or in the phone’s box.
If you don’t have them or you are still lying on your couch trying to choose a suitable device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you want to check your current phone, just turn on the mobile data; if the BLU Vivo X5 4G data is available, then you will immediately see immediately see a 4G icon on the top of the screen. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be deceptive if you didn’t activate a 4G plan, or you are out of coverage.
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 isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Vivo X5?
If you want to switch on your BLU Vivo X5 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- Choose Settings.
3- Choose “More…”.
4- Tap on Mobile networks.
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 switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what 4G is on BLU Vivo X5
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially unleashed 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, fulfilling 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 Vivo X5
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 very small, 4G latency made HD web streaming practicable, and a much better 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 X5 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the BLU Vivo X5
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by cellular carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each telecommunications company uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should guarantee that your BLU Vivo X5 supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to standardize 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 segmented the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The BLU Vivo X54G-enabled bands are:
2, 4, 5, 12, 17;.
