Wireless mobile technologies have developed 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 One E9+ 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to HTC One E9+ 4G technology in the following article.
Does the HTC One E9+ have 4G?
Yes. 4G technology is one of HTC One E9+’s main features.
How do you tell whether HTC One E9+ is 4G-enabled or not?
There are a number of ways to check the affordability of 4G in your HTC One E9+, or any other phone. And assuming you’re not a techy person , I suggest that you start by checking the phone box, network information is usually illustrated there. Or you can simply google your phone model name and find out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will notice a 4G ot LTE sign up on the notification bar.
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 supports 4G you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on HTC One E9+?
If you would like to enable your HTC One E9+ 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Make sure the Mobile data tile is on.
4- Select Mobile data.
5- Tap Network mode.
6- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note 1:
When you have two SIM cards inserted on your phone, only one card can connect to the faster 4G LTE network. You can set which card you want to connect to the 4G LTE network from Dual network manager.
Note 2:
If you intend to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G).
What 4G is on HTC One E9+?
4G describes cellular network technology. It was prescribed by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and utilized by mobile network operators. To name a system 4G it should meet some criteria.
The ‘G’ in 4G stands for generation, and 4 means the fourth one, following 3G and before 5G. 4G networks must offer internet speeds much better than 3G, they also offer low latency, which is vital for some uses such as gaming services.
The most prevalent protocols specified by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. HTC One E9+ 4G and 4G in most phones today use one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most deployed cellular network.
Feature of 4G technology on HTC One E9+
4G has all the features 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 provides 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, Despite the fact that it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very essential for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The emergence of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and browse the internet simultaneously, with even more suitable voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with HTC One E9+ 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the HTC One E9+
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to communicate 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 termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used all over the world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile provider offers specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your HTC One E9+ supports the bands provided by your local cellular operator.
Here are the HTC One E9+4G-supported bands:
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
