Most phones nowadays are 4G enabled, fulfilling the need for good speed. So is LG K7 4G enabled? And what is 4G in the first hand? We will answer that and explore other issues related to LG K7 4G.
is the LG K74G-capable phone?
Yes. 4G is one of LG K7 inherent features.
Checking the presence of 4G on LG K7
Nowadays, it is unavoidable to own a 4G-enabled device, since most internet users need a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G-enabledor not, you can use multiple means.
An easy method when you have the device in your hand is just switching on the mobile data, if the LG K7 4G data is activated, then you will see a symbol at the top of the display, in the status bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that symbol means that you are not connected to 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t always signify that your device doesn’t enable 4G. And that leads us to the second way.
Check your phone criteria on the user guide, or in the device package. If you don’t have any of them, you can still check that on the official site (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to 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 either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on LG K7?
If you want to enable your LG K7 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
4- Tap Networks.
5- More.
6- Select Mobile networks.
7- Tap Network mode.
8- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (e.g. 3G).
Introduction to 4G technology on LG K7
It is the term used to describe fourth-generation wireless technology. It was introduced in 2008 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency that specifies the specification of 4G technology and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G is now the higher wireless technology adopted by most mobile phones around the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its ascendant 3G. Thus, its emergence expanded the use of mobile phones. Nowadays, phone users can do almost the same activities that were only achieved on computers before the rise of 4G.
The best famous technology labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it (LTE-A for example). Usually, people confuse the two terms. For LG K7 4G to be adequate, it should be compatible with the protocols used by local telecommunication companies.
What distinguishes 4G on LG K7?
4G outruns the preceding generation in terms of speed and latency. It provides 10 times better downloading and uploading internet speeds. The average 3G speed is around 5 Mbit/s, and the average 4G speed is about 50 Mbit/s.
In terms of latency, 3G offers a 100 ms latency, while 4G has half of that, meaning 50 ms, which is preferable since latency is a time delay between the sender and the receiver. Although the difference is only 0.05 seconds, it translates to a vast advantage in live interactions, such as gaming experiences and live broadcasting.
VoLTE is a standard that gave 4G a boost. It allows users to make improved voice calls and use the internet while speaking on the mobile. These advantages make LG K7 4G technology a great tool in your hand.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the LG K7?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should find out what the frequency is. Frequency is the repetition of an event, and it is quantified in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are exploited for different applications besides 4G (radio broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is vital to determine which frequencies must be used for what reason. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to certain uses.
What you should consider as a user of LG K7, is whether it supports the bands offered in your area by your local cellular operator or not. The LG K74G-enabled bands are :
LTE – X210;2, 4, 12 – MS330;25, 26, 41 – LS675;.
