Wireless telecommunications has witnessed a lot of development in the last few years, changing the way we behave. One of the important developments is the emergence of 4G. So is LG K31 4G compatible? And what is 4G? We will answer this and every question related to LG K31 4G.
Does the LG K31 have 4G?
Yes. 4G is one of LG K31 built-in features.
How to check the availability of 4G on LG K31
It is necessary to check whether your device is 4G-enabled before purchasing it. The easiest method is to check your device specifications in your phone package, or in the user guide. If you don’t have the box or lost the user guide, you can check your phone specifications on the official website of the manufacturer or any other credible website.
The second way is verifying the signal bar. If the LG K31 4G data is running, you will find a 4G (or an LTE) sign at the top of the device’s screen. Note that the absence of that symbol doesn’t necessarily mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and find 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 doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on LG K31?
If you need to enable your LG K31 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Tap Network & Internet.
4- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
5- Tap Mobile networks.
6- Tap Network mode.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (e.g. 3G).
Learn about 4G technology on LG K31
4G describes cellular network technology. It was identified by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used by mobile network operators. To name a system 4G it should meet some criteria.
The ‘G’ in 4G stands for generation, and 4 means the fourth one, following 3G and before 5G. 4G networks have to grant internet speeds much better than 3G, they also present low latency, which is principal for some uses such as gaming services.
The most common protocols determined by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. LG K31 4G and 4G in most phones today use one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most deployed cellular network.
Why is 4G on the LG K31 important?
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 tiny, 4G latency made HD web streaming possible, and a much more appropriate 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 K31 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG K31
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to transfer 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 termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used all over the world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each carrier provides specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your LG K31 supports the bands provided by your local mobile provider.
Here are the LG K314G-supported bands:
2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 25, 26, 41, 66, 71;.
