Cellular technologies have evolved enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Huawei Y3II 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to Huawei Y3II 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Huawei Y3II have 4G?
Yes. Huawei Y3II has all the requirements to use 4G networks.
Checking the availability of 4G on Huawei Y3II
Nowadays, it is unavoidable to buy a 4G-enabled device, since most internet users need a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G-enabledor not, you can use multiple methods.
An easy method when you hold the device in your hand is just switching on the mobile data, if the Huawei Y3II 4G data is activated, then you will notice a symbol at the top of the display, in the status bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that icon means that you are not connected to 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t necessarily signify that your device doesn’t enable 4G. And that leads us to the second option.
Check your phone criteria on the user guide, or in the device package. If you don’t have any of them, you can still check that on the official site (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
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 supports 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 Huawei Y3II?
If you need to activate your Huawei Y3II 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Select Settings.
3- Choose All tab.
4- Under Wireless & networks choose More.
5- Choose Mobile networks.
6- Make sure that Data enabled option is checked.
7- Select Preferred network mode/type.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example).
Introduction to 4G technology on Huawei Y3II
4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless. Meaning the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. It was built after 3G and it is ahead of 5G. It was first officially released 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 strongest technology adopted by most mobile phones all over the world.
Huawei Y3II 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.
What are the advantages of 4G on Huawei Y3II?
4G was implemented to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology grants much better downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can achieve as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another vital criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Lower latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the assistance of the VoLTE standard, 4G now grants better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G increased the use of Huawei Y3II 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in your Huawei Y3II
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters because each mobile network operator uses distinct bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your Huawei Y3II supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands worldwide, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU segmented the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Huawei Y3II 4G-enabled bands are:
1, 3, 7, 8, 20;3, 5, 40 – India;.
