Wireless mobile technologies have progressed enormously; one of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is OnePlus Ace 4G capable? We will answer these and other questions related to OnePlus Ace 4G technology in the following article.
is the OnePlus Ace4G-eligible phone?
Yes. 4G technology is one of OnePlus Ace’s various attributes.
How can I know whether OnePlus Ace supports 4G or not?
It is essential to check whether your phone has 4G before buying it. The easiest option is to read your phone specifications in your phone box, or in the manual. If you don’t possess the package or didn’t find the manual, you can check your phone criteria on the official website of the manufacturer or any other trustworthy website.
The second option is verifying the status bar. If the OnePlus Ace 4G data is turned on, you will notice a 4G (or an LTE) symbol at the top of the phone’s display. Note that the absence of that icon doesn’t necessarily mean that your phone doesn’t support 4G.
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-enabled 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 OnePlus Ace?
If you intend to activate your OnePlus Ace 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- Select Settings.
3- Choose Mobile network.
4- Make sure to turn on the Mobile data.
5- Choose the SIM card you want to set.
6- Choose Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you intend to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on OnePlus Ace
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation nearly every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which was officially launched in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made available in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all mobile carriers around the world.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) guidelines. According to the ITU, a 4G marked technology has fast internet speeds, fulfilling ten times the speed of 3G internet, and it also has low latency.
A lot of protocols were identified as 4G, such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on OnePlus Ace
4G was developed to deliver a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology presents much better downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can achieve as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another prominent 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 response. Lesser latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now provides better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G augmented the use of OnePlus Ace 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? And which bands are available in the OnePlus Ace?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by cellular carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each wireless service provider uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should assure that your OnePlus Ace supports the bands offered in your area.
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.
The OnePlus Ace4G-enabled bands are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 26, 28, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
