Mobile technologies have upgraded enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG Spectrum II 4G VS930 enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to LG Spectrum II 4G VS930 technology in the following article.
is the LG Spectrum II 4G VS930-enabled phone?
Yes. 4G is one of LG Spectrum II 4G VS930 built-in features.
How can I know whether a phone is 4G-enabledor not?
Nowadays, it is inevitable to get 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 have the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the phone 4G data is on, then you will see an icon at the top of the screen, 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 using 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t necessarily 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 reliable 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 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 Spectrum II 4G VS930?
If you want to turn on your LG Spectrum II 4G VS930 network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Choose “More…”.
4- Select Mobile networks.
5- Make sure to switch on Data.
6- Choose Network type and strength (or network mode).
7- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (e.g. 3G).
Get to know what 4G is on LG Spectrum II 4G VS930
4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies, it comes just after 3G and before 5G. Although 5G is considered the fastest technology existing in the market, 4G is still the fastest most deployed technology.
4G has fast uploading and downloading speeds, overtaking the previous 3G standards, and it also comes decreased latency, allowing users to do much more activities using their mobiles, things such as live conferencing.
To be more specific, 4G is a designation named by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it is also a commercial word used by wireless service providers to exhibit a set of protocols used in their networks.
One of the most famous protocols is LTE and LTE-Advanced, So for LG Spectrum II 4G VS930 to be useful, it should be correspondent with the protocols used by local telecommunication companies.
Advantages of 4G on LG Spectrum II 4G VS930
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It offers download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times more than 3G. And it provides more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, ranging from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Despite the fact that it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very significant for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet simultaneously, with even enhanced voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG Spectrum II 4G VS930 technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your LG Spectrum II 4G VS930?
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to communicate 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 over the globe.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile provider grants specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your LG Spectrum II 4G VS930 supports the bands provided by your local cellular provider.
Here are the LG Spectrum II 4G VS930-supported bands:
