In this article, we will discuss everything related to LG Spirit 4G technology, starting with the question “is LG Spirit 4G enabled” and defining the word itself.
Does the LG Spirit have 4G?
Yes. LG has integrated 4G in LG Spirit phone.
How can I know whether LG Spirit is able to use 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 methods.
An easy way when you have the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the LG Spirit 4G data is on, then you will find a sign at the top of the screen, in the signal bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that sign 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 method.
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 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-enabled.
How to switch to 4G on LG Spirit?
If you would like to switch on your LG Spirit 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Go to Networks.
4- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
5- Choose Tethering & networks.
6- Tap Mobile networks.
7- Choose Network mode.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you intend to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example).
Introduction to 4G technology on LG Spirit
4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless. This means the fourth generation of cellular communication technology. It was built after 3G and it comes before 5G. It was first officially publicly released in 2009, and it was made accessible years after all around the world.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is way faster than 3G. Currently, it is the highest technology adopted by most mobile phones globally.
LG Spirit 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed how we use phones, it allowed users to stream HD videos (as an example). The high speed of 4G network turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do anything possible on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE-A are the best popular 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
Advantages of 4G on LG Spirit
4G has all the features of 3G at more speed. It allows download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it allows more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very necessary for some use cases like video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet concurrently, with even more appropriate voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG Spirit 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the LG Spirit
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters because each cellular carrier uses distinct bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should guarantee that your LG Spirit supports the bands offered in your area.
It’s hard to regularize the bands at the international level, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The LG Spirit4G-enabled bands are:
1, 3, 7, 8, 20 – H440N;2, 4, 5, 7, 17 – H445;.
