Cellular technologies have upgraded enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve absolutely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo Reno3 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo Reno3 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo Reno3 have 4G?
Yes. The Oppo Reno3 is compatible with 4G bands.
How to check the presence of 4G on Oppo Reno3
Nowadays, it is necessary to own a 4G-enabled device, since most internet users need a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G capable you can use multiple ways.
An easy way when you pick the device in your palm is just switching on the mobile data, if the Oppo Reno3 4G data is activated, then you will find a sign at the top of the screen, in the signal bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that symbol means that you are not connected to 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t signify certainly that your device doesn’t enable 4G. And that leads us to the second way.
Check your phone criteria on the user guide, or in the device package. If you lost both of them you can still check that on the official website (or any other credible website) using the device name or model number.
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 supports 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 Reno3?
If you intend to switch on your Oppo Reno3 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Choose Mobile Networks.
4- Tap Network Mode.
5- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you need to turn 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 Reno3
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 Reno3?
4G was created to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology serves much enhanced downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed is between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can achieve as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to transfer data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Lower latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. 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 ability to navigate the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of Oppo Reno3 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 Reno3?
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by cellular carriers. Why this matters to you? It matters since each mobile network operator uses different bands according to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should ensure that your Oppo Reno3 supports the bands present in your area.
It’s hard to unite the bands internationally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU sectioned the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Oppo Reno3 4G enabled bands are:
1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41 – International;1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 38, 40, 41 – APAC;.
