Wireless mobile technologies have evolved enormously, One of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo A11 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo A11 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo A11 have 4G?
Yes. The Oppo A11 is compatible with 4G bands.
How can I know whether the Oppo A11 supports 4G or not?
Nowadays, it is unavoidable to purchase a 4G-enabled device, since most internet users need a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G capable you can use multiple ways.
An easy way when you hold the device in your palm is just switching on the mobile data, if the Oppo A11 4G data is activated, then you will find an icon 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 symbol means that you are not connected to 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t signify necessarily that your device doesn’t enable 4G. And that leads us to the second method.
Check your phone criteria on the user guide, or in the device package. If you lost both of them you can still check that on the official website (or any other trustworthy website) using the device name or model number.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and look for network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone supports 4G you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t support the technology.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo A11?
If you want to activate your Oppo A11 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Choose Mobile Networks.
4- Tap Network Mode.
5- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what is 4G on Oppo A11
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication. It was first released in 2009 in South Korea, and it was deployed after that all around the world until it became the fastest and most used network in mobiles.
The provider of 4G network specifications is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it has also identified 5G, and 3G specifications before that. The ITU specifies what internet speeds and what latency limits are acceptable to call a network protocol a 4G.
Many protocols passed the test and qualified as 4G, the most important are LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Feature of 4G technology on Oppo A11
4G is an evolved technology that enabled a lot of potential for users. It enables much more speed than 3G network, while the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G offers an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another benefit is the low latency. Despite the fact that the difference in Latency is tiny, 4G latency made HD web streaming practical, and a much more suitable video games experience.
4G has also better quality voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to check out the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with Oppo A11 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are available in the Oppo A11?
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by wireless service providers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each wireless service provider uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should guarantee that your Oppo A11 supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands internationally, 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 Oppo A11 4G supported bands are:
1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
