Wireless mobile technologies have upgraded 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 Max 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to HTC One Max 4G technology in the following article.
Does the HTC One Max have 4G?
Absolutely, HTC One Max has the necessary hardware and software to enable 4G bands.
How can I know whether HTC One Max is able to use 4G or not?
Nowadays, it is inevitable to purchase a 4G-capable phone, because most internet users require a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G-capableor not, you can use multiple ways.
An easy way when you have the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the HTC One Max 4G data is on, then you will find a symbol at the top of the screen, in the status bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that sign means that you are not using 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t always mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G. And that takes us to the second option.
Check your phone specifications on the manual, or in the phone box. If you lose both of them, you can still check that on the official website (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
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 is 4G-capable you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t have the technology.
