Learn about 4G technology on Oppo A7
Mobile telecommunication technologies evolve by one generation almost in every 10 years. 4G is the fourth one, which officially launched in 2009 in South Korea, and years after that it was made available in all inhabited areas. And by “they” we mean all cellular carriers around the world.
They follow the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) guidelines. According to the ITU, a 4G marked technology has fast internet speeds, achieving ten times the speed of 3G internet. And it has also low latency.
A lot of protocols were labelled 4G such as: LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Advantages of 4G on Oppo A7
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It provides download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it allows more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, ranging from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Even though it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very vital for some use cases like video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and surf the internet in parallel, with even enhanced voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with Oppo A7 4G technology.

And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should assure that your Oppo A7 supports the bands offered in your area.
It’s hard to unite the bands at the international level, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU segmented the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Oppo A7 4G supported bands are:
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41 – V1;1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 38, 40, 41 – V2;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41 – V3;.
