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+.
What are the advantages of 4G on HTC U11+?
4G is an evolved technology that enabled a lot of possibilities for users. It enables much more speed than 3G network. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G offers an average of 10 Mbit/s.

Get to know 4G bands in the HTC U11+
4G and other cellular networks use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been allocated certain frequency intervals known as bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used at the international level.
What you should know as a consumer is that each mobile provider provides certain bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your HTC U11+ supports the bands offered by your local mobile operator.
