Mobile technologies have improved enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Huawei Y5II 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to Huawei Y5II 4G technology in the following article.
Does the Huawei Y5II have 4G?
Yes. Huawei Y5II is compatible with 4G bands.
How do you tell whether Huawei Y5II is 4G-capable or not?
It’s not a big deal to check whether your mobile phone is 4G-capable, but it’s still essential to know how to do it. Because you don’t want to be left over with a phone lacking an essential technology nowadays.
You can check the information directly by googling the phone name or model number, and checking on the official website of the manufacturer or any other credible site. If you are a classic person, you can check the user guide or the phone box.
Another easy option is checking the indication bar while the mobile data is on, if the Huawei Y5II 4G data is on use, then you will see a 4G or LTE symbol there. If it’s not mentioned then you should consider another way.
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 Y5II?
If you want to switch on your Huawei Y5II 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- Choose Settings.
3- Select All tab.
4- Under Wireless & networks tap on More.
5- Tap Mobile networks.
6- Verify that Data enabled option is checked.
7- Tap Preferred network mode/type.
8- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G).
Definition of 4G on Huawei Y5II
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially unleashed in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made present in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all mobile carriers around the world.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards. According to the ITU, a 4G marked technology has fast internet speeds, achieving ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were described as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What are the advantages of 4G on Huawei Y5II?
4G was established to provide a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology serves much stronger 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 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 response. Low latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now allows better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to navigate the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G augmented the use of Huawei Y5II 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in your Huawei Y5II
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters because each phone carrier uses different bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your Huawei Y5II supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to regularize the bands globally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Huawei Y5II4G-enabled bands are:
1, 3, 7, 8, 20;.
