Internet on phones has witnessed a lot of changes, and different cellular technology generations, one of them is 4G technology. So what is 4G? Is BLU Vivo XL2 4G enabled? Let’s dive deeply into the subject, and find out everything related to BLU Vivo XL2 4G technology.
Does the BLU Vivo XL2 have 4G?
Yes. BLU Vivo XL2 has all the requirements to support 4G networks.
How do you tell whether BLU Vivo XL2 is 4G-enabled or not?
Before buying your device, you want to make sure that it supports 4G. You have so many ways to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious option is to check the specifications on the manual or in the device’s package.
If you lost them or you are still lying at home trying to choose the perfect phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you would like to verify your current phone, just turn on the cellular data; if the BLU Vivo XL2 4G data is available, then you will immediately notice immediately see a 4G sign on the top of the display. You might notice LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this method might be misleading if you are not on a 4G offer, 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 has 4G 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 XL2?
If you need to enable your BLU Vivo XL2 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- Select “More…”.
5- Tap on Mobile/Cellular networks.
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on BLU Vivo XL2
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 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 marked technology has fast internet speeds, reaching 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+.
What are the advantages of 4G on BLU Vivo XL2?
4G has all the functionalities of 3G at more speed. It allows download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times more than 3G. And it offers more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very important for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The development of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and surf the internet in parallel, with even improved voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with BLU Vivo XL2 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your BLU Vivo XL2
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by wireless service providers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each mobile network operator uses distinct bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your BLU Vivo XL2 supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to standardize the bands at the international level, 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 XL24G-enabled bands are:
2, 4, 7, 12, 17 – V0070UU;1, 3, 7, 8, 20, 38, 39, 40, 41 – V0070EE;.
