Cellular technologies have progressed enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo A36 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo A36 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo A36 have 4G?
Yes. Oppo included 4G in their Oppo A36 phone.
How do you tell whether the Oppo A36 is 4G enabled or not?
The most reliable option to check the existence of 4G network in any phone, is checking the official website, or the official packaging.
Another safe option is switching 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 fetch network mode, usually as follows: Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) > Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options). If your phone is 4G capable you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo A36?
If you want to enable your Oppo A36 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap “SIM card & mobile data” or “Dual SIM & Cellular Data”.
4- Choose the sim card you want to manage (the one used for data if your device is dual sim).
5- Select Preferred network type.
6- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need 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 A36
4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless. Meaning the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. It was produced after 3G and it comes before 5G. It was first officially released to the public in 2009, and it was made affordable 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 speediest technology adopted by most mobile phones across the globe.
Oppo A36 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed how we use phones, it made it possible for users to stream high-quality videos (as an example). The good 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 get confused between them.
What are the advantages of 4G on Oppo A36?
4G was created to offer a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology grants much enhanced 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 transmit data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Reduced 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 offers better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to navigate the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G augmented the use of Oppo A36 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are available in your Oppo A36?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by phone carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters since each cellular carrier uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your Oppo A36 supports the bands offered 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 sectioned the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Oppo A36 4G supported bands are:
1, 3, 5, 8, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
