Wireless mobile technologies have improved enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG K62 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to LG K62 4G technology in the following article.
is the LG K624G-capable phone?
Yes. The LG K62 is one of 4G compatible phones.
How can I know whether LG K62 supports 4G or not?
Nowadays, it is inevitable to purchase a 4G-capable phone, because most internet users require a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G-capableor not, you can use multiple ways.
An easy way when you hold the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the LG K62 4G data is on, then you will notice an icon at the top of the screen, in the indication bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that icon means that you are not using 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t definitely mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G. And that takes us to the second option.
Check your phone specifications on the manual, or in the phone box. If you lose both of them, you can still check that on the official website (or any other credible website) using the device name or model number.
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 supports 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 K62?
If you want to turn on your LG K62 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Select Network & Internet.
4- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
5- Tap Mobile networks.
6- Choose Network mode.
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example).
Definition of 4G on LG K62
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 are the advantages of 4G on LG K62?
4G is a developed technology that drives a lot of potential for users. It enables 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 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 K62 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your LG K62?
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 used for multiple applications besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is important to decide which frequencies must be used for what purpose. 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 K62, is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local cellular operator or not. The LG K624G-supported bands are :
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 28, 38, 66 – North America;1, 3, 5, 7, 28, 40 – Brazil;.
