Most phones nowadays are 4G enabled, fulfilling the need for good speed. So is Oppo Reno 4G enabled? And what is 4G in the first hand? We are going to answer that and explore other issues related to Oppo Reno 4G.
Does Oppo Reno have 4G?
Yes. Oppo imbedded 4G in their Oppo Reno phone.
How do you tell whether the Oppo Reno is 4G capable or not?
Before buying your phone you want to make sure that it enables 4G. you have so many options to do it, we will list some of them here. The most obvious method is to check the criteria on the user guide or in the device’s box.
If you lost them or you are still lying on your couch trying to choose the best phone for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you intend to verify your current phone, just turn on the mobile data, if the Oppo Reno 4G data is in use, then you will see immediately a 4G symbol on the top of the display. You might see LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this method might be deceptive if you are not on a 4G plan, 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 has 4G you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G capable.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo Reno?

What is 4G on Oppo Reno?
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+.
What are the advantages of 4G on Oppo Reno?
4G was developed to deliver a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology grants you much enhanced 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 prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can promote latency as the time needed to transmit data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Low latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the aid of the VoLTE standard, 4G now offers 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 augmented the use of Oppo Reno 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are available in the Oppo Reno?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what is a frequency. Frequency is the repetition of an event, it is quantified in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are used for several uses besides 4G (radio broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is vital to identify which frequencies must be used for what use. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of Oppo Reno, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local cellular provider or not. The Oppo Reno 4G enabled bands are :
LTE – Global;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 – Full Netcom Edition;1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41 – Mobile Edition;.
