How to check the existence of 4G on Oppo K10 Pro
There are a number of ways to check the presence of 4G in your Oppo K10 Pro, or any other mobile. And assuming you’re not a techy person , I propose that you start by checking the phone box, network information is usually present there. Or you can simply search on google using your phone model name and find out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will notice a 4G ot LTE sign up on the notification bar.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and fetch 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 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G enabled.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo K10 Pro?
If you need to activate your Oppo K10 Pro 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap Mobile Networks.

Introduction to 4G technology on Oppo K10 Pro
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication. It was first released in 2009 in South Korea, and it was deployed after that all around the world until it became the fastest and most used network in mobiles.
The provider of 4G network specifications is the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), it has also identified 5G, and 3G specifications before that. The ITU specifies what internet speeds and what latency limits are acceptable to call a network protocol a 4G.
Many protocols passed the test and qualified as 4G, the most important are LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Why 4G on Oppo K10 Pro is important?
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It allows 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, Despite the fact that it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very significant 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 navigate the internet in parallel, with even improved voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with Oppo K10 Pro 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the Oppo K10 Pro
4G and other cellular technologies use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals called bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used at the international level.
What you should know as a consumer is that each carrier permits specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you have to make sure that your Oppo K10 Pro supports the bands provided by your local cellular provider.
Here are the Oppo K10 Pro 4G enabled bands:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 26, 28, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41;.
