Does Oppo A59 have 4G?
Yes. The Oppo A59 is 4G capable
What is 4G on Oppo A59?
4G stands for fourth-generation wireless. Meaning the fourth generation of cellular communication technology. It was developed after 3G and it is ahead of 5G. It was first officially publicly announced in 2009, and it was made on hand 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 highest technology adopted by most mobile phones all over the world.
Oppo A59 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 high speed of 4G network turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do everything possible on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE-Advanced are the most popular 4G standards, and usually, people get confused between them.
Advantages of 4G on Oppo A59
4G was created to grant a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology grants 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 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 send 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 ability to browse the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of Oppo A59 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 A59?
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by wireless service providers. Why this matters to you? It matters since each cellular carrier uses special bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should guarantee that your Oppo A59 supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to standardize the bands on a global scale, 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 A59 4G supported bands are:
3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41 – A59t;1, 3, 5, 38, 39, 40, 41 – A59m;.
