How to check the availability of 4G on LG Candy
It’s not rocket science to figure out whether your mobile phone is 4G-enabled, but it’s still important to know how to do it. Because you don’t want to be left over with a device lacking an essential technology nowadays.
You can check the information directly by googling the phone name or model number, and checking on the official site of the manufacturer or any other dependable website. If you are a classic person, you can check the manual or the device package.
Another easy option is checking the indication bar while the cellular data is on, if the LG Candy 4G data is on use, then you will notice a 4G or LTE sign there. If it’s not present then you must consider another method.
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-capable.

Introduction to 4G technology on LG Candy
4G is an acronym for fourth-generation wireless. This means the fourth generation of cellular communication technology. It was provided after 3G and it comes before 5G. It was first officially released in 2009, and it was made on hand years after all around the world.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is way faster than 3G. Currently, it is the highest technology adopted by most mobile phones throughout the world.
LG Candy 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed how we use phones, it allowed users to stream HD videos (as an example). The high speed of 4G network turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do anything possible on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE-Advanced are the best popular 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
What are the advantages of 4G on LG Candy?
4G was established to deliver a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology offers much better downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to transmit data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Reduced latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now presents better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G widened the use of LG Candy 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG Candy
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 called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all around the world.
What you should know as a consumer is that each mobile provider offers certain bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your LG Candy supports the bands offered by your local mobile provider.
Here are the LG Candy4G-enabled bands:
1, 3, 5, 40, 41;.
