Mobile technologies have progressed enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG X Skin 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to LG X Skin 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG X Skin have 4G?
Yes. LG X Skin is compatible with 4G networks.
How can I know whether LG X Skin is able to use 4G or not?
Before buying your phone, you want to make sure that it supports 4G. You have so many ways to do it, and we will list some of them here. The most obvious way is to check the criteria on the user guide or in the phone’s box.
If you don’t have them or you are still lying on your sofa trying to choose the perfect phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you would like to check your current phone, just turn on the cellular data; if the LG X Skin 4G data is in use, then you will immediately see immediately see a 4G symbol on the top of the screen. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be deceptive if you are not on a 4G offer, or you are out of coverage.
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-capable 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 X Skin?
If you would like to activate your LG X Skin 4G 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, tap Settings.
3- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
4- Tap Networks.
5- More.
6- Tap Mobile networks.
7- Select Network mode.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G).
Introduction to 4G technology on LG X Skin
4G is an acronym for fourth-generation wireless. Meaning the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. It was built after 3G and it is ahead of 5G. It was first officially released to the public in 2009, and it was made accessible years after all around the globe.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is much faster than 3G. Currently, it is the fastest technology adopted by most mobile phones across the globe.
LG X Skin 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed the way we use phones, it made it possible for users to stream high-quality videos (for example). The good speed of 4G technology turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do everything permitted on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE+ are the best known 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
Advantages of 4G on LG X Skin
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It provides download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times more than 3G. And it offers 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, Although it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very necessary 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 surf the internet in parallel, with even more appropriate voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG X Skin 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG X Skin
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by cellular carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each mobile network operator uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your LG X Skin 4G bands are the same as the bands present in your area, otherwise, it can’t use 4G and it will be useless.
It’s hard to formalize 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.
