Wireless mobile technologies have evolved enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Google Pixel 6 Pro 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to Google Pixel 6 Pro 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Google Pixel 6 Pro have 4G?
Yes. 4G is one of Google Pixel 6 Pro embedded attributes.
How do you tell whether Google Pixel 6 Pro is 4G-enabled or not?
Before buying your phone, you want to make sure that it enables 4G. You have so many methods to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious method is to check the criteria on the manual or in the phone’s package.
If you lost them or you are still lying on your couch trying to choose the ideal phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you desire to check your current phone, just turn on the mobile data; if the Google Pixel 6 Pro 4G data is on, then you will immediately notice immediately see a 4G sign 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: open 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-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on Google Pixel 6 Pro?
If you need to switch on your Google Pixel 6 Pro 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- Select Settings.
3- Select Network & internet.
4- Choose SIMs.
5- Make sure to switch on the Mobile data.
6- Choose Preferred network type.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
What 4G is on Google Pixel 6 Pro?
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 made present in all populated areas. And by “they” we mean all cellular carriers around the globe.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) guidelines. According to the ITU, a 4G tagged technology has fast internet speeds, reaching 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+.
Why is 4G on the Google Pixel 6 Pro important?
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It provides download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster 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 advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very necessary for some use cases like video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The appearance of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet at the same time, with even more suitable voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with Google Pixel 6 Pro 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your Google Pixel 6 Pro?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is measured in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are utilized for numerous purposes besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is important to identify which frequencies must be used for what reason. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of Google Pixel 6 Pro, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local mobile provider or not. The Google Pixel 6 Pro4G-supported bands are :
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 32, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 46, 48, 66, 71 – GLUOG, G8VOU;1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12, 14, 20, 25, 28, 30, 38, 40, 41, 48, 66, 71, 77, 78 SA/NSA/Sub6 – GLUOG;.
