Checking the existence of 4G on Oppo Find 7
Nowadays, it is necessary to buy a 4G-capable phone, because most internet users require a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G enabled you can use multiple methods.
An easy method when you have the phone in your hand is just turning on the cellular data, if the Oppo Find 7 4G data is on, then you will notice a sign at the top of the display, in the indication bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that sign means that you are not using 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t mean certainly that your phone doesn’t support 4G. And that takes us to the second way.
Check your phone specifications on the manual, or in the phone box. If you don’t have any of them you can still check that on the official site (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
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 isn’t 4G enabled.
