Wireless mobile technologies have progressed enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve certainly encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG Joy 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to LG Joy 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG Joy have 4G?
Yes. LG has included 4G in LG Joy phone.
How can I know whether LG Joy supports 4G or not?
Before buying your device, you want to make sure that it enables 4G. You have so many options 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 pick the perfect device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you desire to verify your current phone, just turn on the mobile data; if the LG Joy 4G data is on, 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 search 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 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on LG Joy?
If you intend to enable your LG Joy 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Go to Networks.
4- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
5- Select Tethering & networks.
6- Tap Mobile networks.
7- Select Network mode.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G).
Definition of 4G on LG Joy
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the entity that defined 4G in the first place, 4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies. It comes just after 3G and preceding 5G.
4G has very high internet uploading/downloading speeds, ten times more than 3G, Which is enormous. It also has 50ms latency, much less than 3G.
4G is not just one technology, but a set of technologies compatible with ITU specifications. It includes LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What distinguishes 4G on LG Joy?
4G is a developed technology that drives a lot of potential for users. It has much more speed than 3G technology. While the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G has an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another benefit is the low latency. Despite the fact that the difference in Latency is very small, 4G latency made HD web streaming practical, and a much more suitable video games experience.
4G also has better quality voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to check out the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG Joy 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG Joy
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 exploited for numerous applications besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is essential to determine which frequencies must be used for what use. 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 Joy, is whether it supports the bands offered in your area by your local carrier or not. The LG Joy4G-supported bands are :
3, 7, 8, 20;.
