Cellular technologies have advanced enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG K4 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to LG K4 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG K4 have 4G?
Yes. 4G technology is one of LG K4’s main attributes.
How can I know whether LG K4 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 trusty 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 appearance of a 4G or LTE sign in the signal bar.
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 has 4G you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on LG K4?
If you need to turn on your LG K4 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
4- Choose Networks.
5- More.
6- Choose Mobile networks.
7- Choose Network mode.
8- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example).
Learn about 4G technology on LG K4
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+.
What distinguishes 4G on LG K4?
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 only a few milliseconds, 4G latency made HD web streaming achievable, and a much more developed 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 K4 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the LG K4
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters because each mobile network operator uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your LG K4 supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to unite the bands on a global scale, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The LG K44G-enabled bands are:
1, 3, 7, 8, 20 – K120E;3, 7, 20 – K130E; LTE – K121;.
