Cellular technologies have improved enormously; one of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve certainly encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is LG Zone 4 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to LG Zone 4 4G technology in the following article.
Does the LG Zone 4 have 4G?
Yes. LG has embedded 4G in LG Zone 4 phone.
How to check the availability of 4G on LG Zone 4
The safest option to check the presence 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 presence of a 4G or LTE sign in the signal bar.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and fetch 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 isn’t 4G-capable.
How to switch to 4G on LG Zone 4?
If you intend to turn on your LG Zone 4 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
4- Tap Networks.
5- More.
6- Choose Mobile networks.
7- Select Network mode.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G).
Learn about 4G technology on LG Zone 4
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation almost every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially introduced in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made present in all populated areas. And by “they” we mean all mobile network operators around the globe.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) guidelines. According to the ITU, a 4G titled technology has fast internet speeds, fulfilling ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were referred as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
What distinguishes 4G on LG Zone 4?
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 faster than 3G. And it provides 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, Despite the fact that it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very significant for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The emergence of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and surf the internet at the same time, with even more appropriate voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with LG Zone 4 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your LG Zone 4
4G and other cellular networks use radio waves to transfer 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 called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all around the world.
What you should know as a consumer is that each cellular operator provides certain bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your LG Zone 4 supports the bands offered by your local carrier.
Here are the LG Zone 44G-enabled bands:
2, 4, 5, 13;.
