Cellular technologies have improved enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo Neo 7 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo Neo 7 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo Neo 7 have 4G?
Absolotely, The Oppo Neo 7 has the necessary hardware and software to support 4G bands.
How can I know whether the Oppo Neo 7 supports 4G or not?
Before buying your device you want to make sure that it supports 4G. you have so many methods to do it, we will list some of them here. The most obvious option 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 pick the best device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you would like to check your current phone, just turn on the cellular data, if the Oppo Neo 7 4G data is available, then you will notice immediately a 4G sign 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 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 7?
If you need to activate your Oppo Neo 7 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap Mobile Networks.
4- Tap Preferred network type.
5- Select the sim card you want to manage (the one used for data if your device is dual sim).
6- Select 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you would like to switch off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what is 4G on Oppo Neo 7
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+.
Feature of 4G technology on Oppo Neo 7
4G was established to deliver a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology allows much improved downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another vital criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Lower latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now provides better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to navigate the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of Oppo Neo 7 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are supported on your Oppo Neo 7?
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 multiple uses besides 4G (television broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is important to decide 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 Neo 7, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local mobile provider or not. The Oppo Neo 7 4G supported bands are :
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 40 – Global;1, 2, 4, 7, 17 – USA;3, 40 – India;.
