Cellular technologies have developed enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Vivo XI 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Vivo XI 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU Vivo XI have 4G?
The answer is yes. BLU Vivo XI can use 4G network technology.
How do you tell whether BLU Vivo XI is 4G-enabled or not?
The safest option to check the existence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another reliable option is switching on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll know that simply by the appearance of a 4G or LTE sign in 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 isn’t 4G-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Vivo XI?
If you intend to switch on your BLU Vivo XI 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- Select Settings.
3- Verify that the Mobile data switch is turned on.
4- Tap “More…”.
5- Choose Mobile/Cellular networks.
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on BLU Vivo XI
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially launched in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was provided in all populated areas. And by “they” we mean all phone network operators around the world.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards. According to the ITU, a 4G titled technology has fast internet speeds, achieving ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were referred as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on BLU Vivo XI
4G is an evolved technology that drives a lot of potential for users. It has 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 possible, and a much more developed 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 XI 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the BLU Vivo XI
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by cellular carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each telecommunications company uses distinct bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your BLU Vivo XI supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands globally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The BLU Vivo XI4G-enabled bands are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 28, 66;.
