4G connections: 800 MHz (band 20), 1800 MHz and 2600 MHz (band 7 and 38).
5G connections: 700 MHz (band 28) and 3500 MHz (band 78).
Note: LTE Option in mobiles settings generally refers to 4G connections.
MHz Meaning:
MHz (Megahertz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including cellular phone communications.
What is Band?
The band is an interval in the frequency domain, restricted by a lower and upper values of transmission capacity over network communication systems. However, in general we are using bandwidth expression to refer to the capacity of a network.
