Mobile technologies have developed enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG Revolution 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to LG Revolution 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG Revolution have 4G?
Yes. LG Revolution is compatible with 4G technology.
How to check the presence of 4G on LG Revolution
The safest option to check the presence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another reliable option is switching on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll know that simply by the appearance of a 4G or LTE sign in the status bar.
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 doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on LG Revolution?
If you want to switch on your LG Revolution 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap Wireless & networks.
4- Choose Mobile networks.
5- check Data enabled box.
6- Select System select.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example).
Learn about 4G technology on LG Revolution
It is the name used to describe fourth-generation of cellular communication technology. It was identified in 2008 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an organization that defines the specs of 4G technology and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G is now the strongest cellular technology adopted by most mobile phones in the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its ascendant 3G. Thus, its release extended the use of phones. At present, phone users can do almost the same tasks that were only practical on computers before the rise of 4G.
The best known protocol labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it , such as LTE-A. Usually, people confuse the two terms. For LG Revolution 4G to be useful, it should be correspondent to the protocols used by local mobile network operators.
Feature of 4G technology on LG Revolution
4G was developed to offer a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology presents much improved downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another vital criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to transfer data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Low latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the aid of the VoLTE standard, 4G now allows better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G expanded the use of LG Revolution 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG Revolution
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to transmit 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 called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used all around the world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile provider offers specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your LG Revolution supports the bands provided by your local cellular operator.
Here are the LG Revolution4G-supported bands:
