Wireless mobile technologies have evolved enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is BLU Vivo XL3 Plus 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to BLU Vivo XL3 Plus 4G technology in the following article.
Does the BLU Vivo XL3 Plus have 4G?
Yes. BLU Vivo XL3 Plus has all the conditions to connect to 4G networks.
How to check the availability of 4G on BLU Vivo XL3 Plus
It is important to check whether your device has 4G before buying it. The easiest way is to verify your phone specifications in your phone box, or in the user guide. If you don’t possess the package or didn’t find the manual, you can read your phone specifications on the official website of the manufacturer or any other reliable website.
The second option is verifying the signal bar. If the BLU Vivo XL3 Plus 4G data is turned on, you will see a 4G (or an LTE) sign at the top of the phone’s display. Note that the absence of that icon doesn’t necessarily mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and search for 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 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on BLU Vivo XL3 Plus?
If you need to switch on your BLU Vivo XL3 Plus 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose 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 would like to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what 4G is on BLU Vivo XL3 Plus
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication. It was first released in 2009 in South Korea, and it was deployed after that all around the world until it became the fastest and most used network in mobiles.
The provider of 4G network specifications is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it has also identified 5G, and 3G specifications before that. The ITU specifies what internet speeds and what latency limits are acceptable to call a network protocol a 4G.
Many protocols passed the test and qualified as 4G, the most important are LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on BLU Vivo XL3 Plus
4G is a developed technology that enabled a lot of possibilities for users. It has much more speed than 3G network. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G has an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another benefit is the low latency. Despite the fact that the difference in Latency is a little, 4G latency made HD web streaming practical, and a much more suitable video games experience.
4G also has better quality voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also enables you to check out the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with BLU Vivo XL3 Plus 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your BLU Vivo XL3 Plus
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by phone carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each wireless service provider uses distinct bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your BLU Vivo XL3 Plus supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to standardize the bands internationally, 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 XL3 Plus4G-enabled bands are:
2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 28;.
