Mobile technologies have upgraded enormously, One of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve surely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo A35 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo A35 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo A35 have 4G?
Absolotely, The Oppo A35 has the required hardware and software to enable 4G bands.
How can I know whether the Oppo A35 supports 4G or not?
The safest option to check the presence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another reliable option is turning on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll know that simply by the presence of a 4G or LTE sign in the notification bar.
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 supports 4G you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G capable.

What is 4G on Oppo A35?
4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless. This means the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. It was created after 3G and it precedes 5G. It was first officially released in 2009, and it was made accessible years after all around the globe.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is much faster than 3G. Currently, it is the strongest technology adopted by most mobile phones throughout the world.
Oppo A35 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed the way we use phones, it allowed users to stream high-quality videos (for example). The high speed of 4G technology turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do everything possible on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE-A are the most popular 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
Why 4G on Oppo A35 is important?
4G was created to deliver a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology serves much stronger downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another important criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Low latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the assistance of the VoLTE standard, 4G now provides better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of Oppo A35 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 Oppo A35?
4G and other mobile networks use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been allocated certain frequency intervals called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used all over the world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile operator offers certain bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you should make sure that your Oppo A35 supports the bands offered by your local cellular provider.
Here are the Oppo A35 4G supported bands:
1, 3, 5, 8, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
