Get to know what is 4G on Oppo A31
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 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 are latency limits 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+.
What are the advantages of 4G on Oppo A31?
4G is an evolved technology that enabled a lot of potential for users. It offers much more speed than 3G technology, 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 practicable, and a much more appropriate video games experience.
4G has also clearer voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to browse the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with Oppo A31 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your Oppo A31
Before talking about 4G bands, you should find out what is a frequency. Frequency is the repetition of an event, it is measured in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are exploited for several purposes besides 4G (radio broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is necessary to identify which frequencies must be used for what reason. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of Oppo A31, is whether it supports the bands present in your area by your local cellular operator or not. The Oppo A31 4G supported bands are :
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41 – International;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 41, 66 – USA;1, 3, 5, 8, 38, 40, 41 – India;1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 38, 40, 41 – Asia;.
