Wireless mobile technologies have advanced enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve certainly faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG Spectrum VS920 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to LG Spectrum VS920 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG Spectrum VS920 have 4G?
The answer is yes. LG Spectrum VS920 can use 4G network technology.
How can I know whether LG Spectrum VS920 is able to use 4G or not?
The safest option to check the availability 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 notification bar.
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 supports 4G you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on LG Spectrum VS920?
If you want to switch on your LG Spectrum VS920 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap Wireless & networks.
4- Select Mobile networks.
5- check Data enabled box.
6- Tap System select.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example).
Introduction to 4G technology on LG Spectrum VS920
It is the name used to describe fourth-generation of cellular communication technology. It was defined 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 main cellular technology used by most mobile phones in the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its predecessor 3G. Thus, its release widened the use of mobile phones. Currently, phone users can do almost the same tasks that were only suitable on computers before the appearance of 4G.
The best known protocol labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it (e.g. LTE-A). Usually, people confuse the two terms. For LG Spectrum VS920 4G to be useful, it should be suitable for the protocols used by local mobile network operators.
What distinguishes 4G on LG Spectrum VS920?
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 tiny, 4G latency made HD web streaming possible, and a much better 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 Spectrum VS920 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG Spectrum VS920
4G and other cellular networks use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been allocated certain frequency intervals termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used at the world level.
What you should know as a consumer is that each mobile operator provides certain bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your LG Spectrum VS920 supports the bands offered by your local carrier.
Here are the LG Spectrum VS9204G-enabled bands:
