4G was provided years ago in most of the globe and it is now considered the fastest most spread mobile network. However, there is a lot of misconception surrounding it. And some people still don’t realize its significance.
What is 4g? Is it better than 3G? Is Oppo A3 4G enabled? That’s what we are going to talk about in this article, besides everything related to Oppo A3 4G technology.
Does Oppo A3 have 4G?
Yes. The Oppo A3 is compatible with 4G technology.
How to check the availability of 4G on Oppo A3
Before buying your phone you want to make sure that it enables 4G. you have so many ways to do it, we will list some of them here. The most obvious way is to check the criteria on the user guide or in the device’s box.
If you lost them or you are still lying at home trying to choose the perfect phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you intend to verify your current phone, just turn on the mobile data, if the Oppo A3 4G data is on, then you will see immediately a 4G symbol on the top of the display. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this method might be deceptive if you are not on a 4G plan, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: open 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 either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t have the standard.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo A3?
If you would like to switch on your Oppo A3 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Choose Mobile Networks.
4- Select Network Mode.
5- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
What is 4G on Oppo A3?
It is the name used to describe the fourth generation wireless technology. It was introduced in 2008 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency that defines the specs of the 4G technology, and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G now is the strongest cellular technology adopted by most mobile phones in the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its ancestor 3G, thus its emergence expanded the use of mobile phones. At present, phone users can do almost the same activities that were only possible on computers before the rise of 4G.
The most famous protocol labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it (LTE-A for example). Usually, people confuse the two terms. For Oppo A3 4G to be adequate, it should be suitable for the protocols used by the local mobile network operators.
Feature of 4G technology on Oppo A3
4G was created to provide a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology grants you 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 prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s 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 assistance of the VoLTE standard, 4G now allows better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to browse the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G increased the use of Oppo A3 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 Oppo A3?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters since each mobile network operator uses different bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your Oppo A3 supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to standardize the bands globally, 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 A3 4G enabled bands are:
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
