Mobile technologies have developed enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG Volt 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to LG Volt 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG Volt have 4G?
Yes. 4G is one of LG Volt built-in features.
How can I know whether LG Volt supports 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 safe 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 presence 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 is 4G-enabled 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 Volt?
If you intend to turn on your LG Volt 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Select Networks.
4- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
5- Select Tethering & networks.
6- Select Mobile networks.
7- Choose Network mode.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G).
Get to know what 4G is on LG Volt
4G is an acronym for fourth-generation wireless. This means the fourth generation of cellular communication technology. It was produced after 3G and it is ahead of 5G. It was first officially publicly announced in 2009, and it was made affordable 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 fastest technology adopted by most mobile phones across the globe.
LG Volt 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-Advanced are the best popular 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
What are the advantages of 4G on LG Volt?
4G outruns the antecedent generation in terms of speed and latency. It grants 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 provides 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 huge 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 surf the internet while speaking on the cellphone. These advantages make LG Volt 4G technology a great tool in your hand.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG Volt
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by telecommunications companies. Why this matters to you? It matters since each telecommunications company uses special bands according to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your LG Volt supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands internationally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU sectioned the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The LG Volt4G-supported bands are:
25, 26, 41;.
