Cellular technologies have developed enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve certainly encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo A94 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo A94 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo A94 have 4G?
The answer is yes. Oppo A94 can use 4G network technology.
How to check the availability of 4G on Oppo A94
Before buying your device you want to make sure that it supports 4G. you have so many ways to do it, we will list some of them here. The most obvious way is to check the specifications on the manual or in the phone’s package.
If you don’t have them or you are still lying on your sofa trying to find the most appealing device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you want to check your current phone, just turn on the cellular data, if the Oppo A94 4G data is on, then you will notice immediately a 4G symbol on the top of the screen. You might notice LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this way might be misleading if you didn’t activate a 4G offer, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and look for 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 doesn’t support the technology.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo A94?
If you would like to enable your Oppo A94 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Select “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- Tap Preferred network type.
6- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on Oppo A94
4G describes mobile network technology. It was identified by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used by phone carriers. To name a system 4G it should meet some criteria.
The ‘G’ in 4G stands for generation, and 4 is the order of the generation, following 3G and before 5G. 4G networks have to provide internet speeds much better than 3G, they also offer low latency, which is necessary for some uses such as gaming services.
The most common protocols defined by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. Oppo A94 4G and 4G in most devices today rely on one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most deployed mobile network.
Advantages of 4G on Oppo A94
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 more than 3G. And it provides more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very vital for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The appearance of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and surf the internet concurrently, with even better voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with Oppo A94 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are supported on your Oppo A94?
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 used for different uses besides 4G (television broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is essential to determine which frequencies must be used for what use. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to certain uses.
What you should consider as a user of Oppo A94, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local mobile operator or not. The Oppo A94 4G supported bands are :
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41;.
