Cellular technologies have upgraded enormously, One of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo A12e 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo A12e 4G technology in the following article.
is Oppo A12e 4g compatible?
Yes. The Oppo A12e is compatible with 4G bands.
How to check the presence of 4G on Oppo A12e
Before buying your device you want to make sure that it supports 4G. you have so many ways to do it, we will list some of them here. The most obvious method is to check the specifications on the manual or in the phone’s package.
If you don’t have them or you are still lying at home trying to find a suitable device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you desire to check your current phone, just turn on the cellular data, if the Oppo A12e 4G data is in use, then you will notice immediately a 4G icon on the top of the screen. You might notice LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be misleading if you didn’t activate a 4G offer, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to 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 enabled you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G enabled.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo A12e?
If you want to turn on your Oppo A12e 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Select Mobile Networks.
4- Select Network Mode.
5- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Definition of 4G on Oppo A12e
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 A12e
4G was implemented to provide a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology grants much higher downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 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 essential criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to transfer data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Lesser latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the aid of the VoLTE standard, 4G now allows 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 Oppo A12e 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in your Oppo A12e
4G and other cellular technologies 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 designated certain frequency intervals termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used at the world level.
What you should know as a consumer is that each carrier grants specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your Oppo A12e supports the bands provided by your local mobile provider.
Here are the Oppo A12e 4G enabled bands:
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 38, 40, 41;.
