Mobile technologies have evolved enormously; one of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Nokia X10 4G enabled? We will answer these and other questions related to Nokia X10 4G technology in the following article.
is the Nokia X104G-eligible phone?
Yes. 4G is one of Nokia X10 inherent attributes.
How do you tell whether Nokia X10 is 4G-capable or not?
It’s not a big deal to figure out whether your mobile phone is 4G-capable, but it’s still important to know how to do it. Because you don’t want to be left over with a phone lacking an essential technology nowadays.
You can check the information directly by googling the phone name or model number, and checking on the official website of the manufacturer or any other trustworthy site. If you are a classic person, you can check the user guide or the phone box.
Another easy way is checking the indication bar while the mobile data is on, if the Nokia X10 4G data is on use, then you will see a 4G or LTE symbol there. If it’s not mentioned then you should consider another way.
Another way is to check the settings: open 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-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 Nokia X10?
If you would like to switch on your Nokia X10 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Select Network and Internet.
4- Tap Mobile network.
5- Verify that the Mobile data is on.
6- Choose Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on Nokia X10
It is the term used to describe fourth-generation wireless technology. It was defined in 2008 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency that specifies the specs of 4G technology and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G is now the main wireless technology used by most mobile phones around the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its precedent 3G. Thus, its emergence expanded the use of smartphones. These days, phone users can do almost the same activities that were only achieved on computers before the emergence of 4G.
The best famous technology labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it (LTE-A for example). Usually, people confuse the two terms. For Nokia X10 4G to be adequate, it should be correspondent to the protocols used by local mobile network operators.
Advantages of 4G on Nokia X10
4G has all the features 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 provides 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, Even though it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very important for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The appearance of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet concurrently, with even enhanced voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with Nokia X10 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the Nokia X10?
4G and other mobile technologies use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals known as bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used at the world level.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each cellular provider permits specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your Nokia X10 supports the bands provided by your local cellular operator.
Here are the Nokia X104G-supported bands:
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
