Wireless mobile technologies have upgraded enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG G4 Dual 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to LG G4 Dual 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG G4 Dual have 4G?
Absolutely, LG G4 Dual has the necessary hardware and software to enable 4G bands.
How can I know whether LG G4 Dual supports 4G or not?
There are several ways to check the availability of 4G in your LG G4 Dual, or any other mobile. And presuming you’re not a techy person , I recommend that you start by checking the phone container, network information is usually present there. Or you can simply search on google using your phone model name and figure out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will see a 4G ot LTE sign up on the notification bar.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to 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 is 4G-capable you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on LG G4 Dual?
If you intend to switch on your LG G4 Dual 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, choose Settings.
3- Select “More…”.
4- Choose Mobile networks.
5- Make sure to enable Data.
6- Tap Network type and strength (or network mode).
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G).
Introduction to 4G technology on LG G4 Dual
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially launched in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made present in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all phone carriers around the world.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) guidelines. According to the ITU, a 4G tagged technology has fast internet speeds, fulfilling ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were identified as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Advantages of 4G on LG G4 Dual
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, Even though it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very important for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The appearance of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and surf the internet simultaneously, with even more suitable voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG G4 Dual 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG G4 Dual
Before talking about 4G bands, you should find out what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is quantified in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are utilized for multiple purposes besides 4G (radio broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is important to determine which frequencies must be used for what reason. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to certain uses.
What you should consider as a user of LG G4 Dual, is whether it supports the bands offered in your area by your local mobile operator or not. The LG G4 Dual4G-enabled bands are :
1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41 – H818N;.
