Mobile technologies have progressed 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 HTC Desire Eye 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to HTC Desire Eye 4G technology in the following article.
is the HTC Desire Eye 4G-compatible phone?
Yes. 4G technology is one of HTC Desire Eye’s principal features.
Checking the presence of 4G on HTC Desire Eye
It is necessary to check whether your phone is 4G-capable before buying it. The easiest option is to check your phone specifications in your phone box, or in the manual. If you don’t possess the package or didn’t find the manual, you can read your phone criteria on the official website of the manufacturer or any other dependable website.
The second option is verifying the signal bar. If the HTC Desire Eye 4G data is turned on, you will see a 4G (or an LTE) symbol 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 find 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 either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.

Definition of 4G on HTC Desire Eye
4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless. Meaning the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. It was produced after 3G and it comes before 5G. It was first officially released to the public in 2009, and it was made accessible years after all around the globe.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is much faster than 3G. Currently, it is the speediest technology adopted by most mobile phones throughout the world.
HTC Desire Eye 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed the way we use phones, it made it possible for users to stream high-quality videos (for example). The good speed of 4G technology turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do everything permitted on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE+ are the best known 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
Why is 4G on the HTC Desire Eye important?
4G was created to deliver a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology presents much stronger downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another essential criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Lesser latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the aid of the VoLTE standard, 4G now offers better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to navigate the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G expanded the use of HTC Desire Eye 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your HTC Desire Eye?
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals known as bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used at the international level.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each cellular operator provides specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your HTC Desire Eye supports the bands provided by your local cellular operator.
Here are the HTC Desire Eye4G-supported bands:
1, 3, 7, 8, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41 – Asia;2, 4, 5, 17, 29 – AT&T;3, 7, 8, 20 – EMEA;.
