Wireless mobile technologies have advanced enormously, One of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve certainly faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo Neo 5s 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo Neo 5s 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo Neo 5s have 4G?
Yes. The Oppo Neo 5s is compatible with 4G technology.
How can I know whether the Oppo Neo 5s is able to use 4G or not?
The safest option to check the presence of 4G network in any phone, is to check the official website, or the official packaging.
Another credible option is switching on mobile data, and checking whether the phone connects to a 4G network or not, you’ll find that out simply by the appearance of a 4G or LTE sign in the indication bar.
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 has 4G 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 Neo 5s?
If you need to activate your Oppo Neo 5s 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, tap Settings.
3- Tap Mobile Networks.
4- Tap Network Mode.
5- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you prefer to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on Oppo Neo 5s
4G describes cellular network technology. It was introduced by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and deployed by phone carriers. To call a system 4G it should meet some standards.
The ‘G’ in 4G is the first letter of the word generation, and 4 means the fourth one, just after 3G and preceding 5G. 4G networks have to provide internet speeds much faster than 3G, they also grant low latency, which is vital for some uses such as gaming services.
The most widespread protocols specified by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. Oppo Neo 5s 4G and 4G in most phones today use one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most utilized cellular network.
What are the advantages of 4G on Oppo Neo 5s?
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It offers download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times more than 3G. And it offers 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, Despite the fact that it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very essential for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The emergence of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet simultaneously, with even more appropriate voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with Oppo Neo 5s 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are available in the Oppo Neo 5s?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by mobile network operators. Why this matters to you? It matters since each telecommunications company uses special bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your Oppo Neo 5s supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to standardize the bands worldwide, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Oppo Neo 5s 4G enabled bands are:
1, 3, 7 – SIM 1 & SIM 2;1, 4, 7 – for Mexico;.
