Internet on mobiles has faced a lot of changes, and different mobile technology generations, one of them is 4G technology. So what is 4G? Is LG G Vista 4G enabled? Let’s dive deeply into the subject, and know everything related to LG G Vista 4G technology.
is the LG G Vista4G-compatible phone?
Yes. LG has integrated 4G in LG G Vista phone.
How can I know whether LG G Vista supports 4G or not?
The safest option to check the existence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another reliable option is turning on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll find that out simply by the emergence of a 4G or LTE sign in the signal bar.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and search 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 either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on LG G Vista?
If you need to enable your LG G Vista 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Choose “More…”.
4- Choose Mobile networks.
5- Make sure to turn on Data.
6- Choose Network type and strength (or network mode).
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G).
Get to know what 4G is on LG G Vista
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication. It was first released in 2009 in South Korea, and it was deployed after that all around the world until it became the fastest and most used network in mobiles.
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+.
Feature of 4G technology on LG G Vista
4G has all the features of 3G at more speed. It offers download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times more than 3G. And it allows more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, ranging from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very important for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The emergence of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet in parallel, with even more suitable voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG G Vista 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the LG G Vista?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is measured in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are used for different applications besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is essential to identify which frequencies must be used for what purpose. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of LG G Vista, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local mobile provider or not. The LG G Vista4G-supported bands are :
2, 4, 5, 17;.
