Wireless mobile technologies have advanced enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG F60 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to LG F60 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG F60 have 4G?
Yes. LG F60 has all the conditions to use 4G networks.
How do you tell whether LG F60 is 4G-enabled or not?
Before buying your device, you want to make sure that it enables 4G. You have so many methods to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious method is to check the specifications on the manual or in the device’s package.
If you lost them or you are still lying at home trying to find a suitable device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you would like to verify your current phone, just turn on the mobile data; if the LG F60 4G data is available, then you will immediately notice immediately see a 4G icon on the top of the display. You might notice LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this method might be misleading if you didn’t activate a 4G plan, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and fetch network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone is 4G-enabled you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on LG F60?
If you would like to enable your LG F60 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Select Networks.
4- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
5- Select Tethering & networks.
6- Choose Mobile networks.
7- Choose Network mode.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G).
What 4G is on LG F60?
4G is an acronym for fourth-generation wireless. This means the fourth generation of cellular communication technology. It was created after 3G and it comes before 5G. It was first officially diffused in 2009, and it was made accessible 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 speediest technology adopted by most mobile phones across the globe.
LG F60 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-A are the best popular 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
What are the advantages of 4G on LG F60?
4G has all the functionalities of 3G at more speed. It offers download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it gives more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very essential for some use cases like video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet at the same time, with even better voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG F60 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the LG F60
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to communicate data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals known as bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used at the international level.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each carrier offers specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your LG F60 supports the bands provided by your local cellular provider.
Here are the LG F604G-supported bands:
3, 7, 20 – D390N;.
