Cellular technologies have evolved enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Nokia G300 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to Nokia G300 4G technology in the following article.
is the Nokia G3004G-capable phone?
Absolutely, Nokia G300 has the required hardware and software to support 4G bands.
How can I know whether Nokia G300 supports 4G or not?
Nowadays, it is unavoidable to buy 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 hold the phone in your palm is just turning on the cellular data, if the Nokia G300 4G data is on, then you will notice a symbol 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 certainly mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G. And that takes us to the second option.
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 has 4G you will find a 4G or an LTE option. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on Nokia G300?
If you want to enable your Nokia G300 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, select Settings.
3- Select Network and internet.
4- Choose Mobile network.
5- Make sure the Mobile data is on.
6- Choose Advanced.
7- Choose Preferred network type.
8- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you intend to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what 4G is on Nokia G300
4G is the fourth generation of cellular communication technologies, it comes just after 3G and before 5G. Although 5G is the highest technology available in the world, 4G is still the fastest most spread technology.
4G comes with fast uploading and downloading speeds, exceeding the previous 3G technology, and it also has decreased latency, allowing users to try much more things using their phones, things such as live conferencing.
To be more specific, 4G is a term assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it is also a commercial expression used by wireless carriers to express a set of protocols used in their networks.
One of the most famous protocols is LTE and LTE-Advanced, So for Nokia G300 4G to be useful, it should be compatible with the protocols used by local wireless service providers.
What are the advantages of 4G on Nokia G300?
4G was developed to provide a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology grants you much enhanced downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another significant criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Reduced latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the assistance of the VoLTE standard, 4G now provides better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to navigate the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of Nokia G300 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are supported on your Nokia G300?
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by telecommunications companies. Why this matters to you? It matters since each telecommunications company uses different bands according to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should guarantee that your Nokia G300 supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands on a global scale, 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 Nokia G3004G-supported bands are:
2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 41, 66, 71;.
