How to check the availability of 4G on Oppo A9x
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 at home trying to pick the most appealing device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you intend to check your current phone, just turn on the cellular data, if the Oppo A9x 4G data is available, 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 search for 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 isn’t 4G enabled.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo A9x?
If you intend to switch on your Oppo A9x 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 Mobile Networks.

What is 4G on Oppo A9x?
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the entity that defined 4G in the first place, 4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies. It comes just after 3G and preceding 5G.
4G has very high internet uploading/downloading speeds, ten times more than 3G, Which is enormous. It also has 50ms latency, much less than 3G.
4G is not just one technology, but a set of technologies compatible with ITU specifications. It includes LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Advantages of 4G on Oppo A9x
4G surpasses the old generation in terms of speed and latency. It offers 10 times better downloading and uploading internet speeds. The average 3G speed is around 5 Mbit/s, and the average 4G speed is about 50 Mbit/s.
In terms of latency, 3G provides a 100 ms latency, while 4G has half of that, meaning 50 ms, which is preferable because latency is a time delay between the sender and the receiver. Although the difference is only 0.05 seconds, it presents a huge advantage in live interactions, like gaming experiences and live broadcasting.
VoLTE is a standard that gave 4G a boost. It permits users to make improved voice calls and surf the internet while talking on cellphone. These advantages make Oppo A9x 4G technology a great tool in your hand.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are supported on your Oppo A9x?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters since each phone carrier uses distinct bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your Oppo A9x supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to formalize the bands globally, 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 A9x 4G enabled bands are:
1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
