Mobile technologies have developed enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve surely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo Reno5 Lite 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo Reno5 Lite 4G technology in the following article.
is Oppo Reno5 Lite 4g compatible?
Yes. The Oppo Reno5 Lite is one of the 4G enabled phones.
How do you tell whether the Oppo Reno5 Lite is 4G enabled 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 reliable 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 presence of a 4G or LTE sign in the indication bar.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to 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 4G or LTE, then your smartphone doesn’t have the standard.
How to switch to 4G on Oppo Reno5 Lite?
If you want to turn on your Oppo Reno5 Lite 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap 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 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 Reno5 Lite
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 Reno5 Lite?
4G was created to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s truly what it did. 4G technology provides much better 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 essential criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to transmit 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 allows 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 expanded the use of Oppo Reno5 Lite 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in your Oppo Reno5 Lite
A 4G band is a range of frequencies used by wireless service providers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each wireless service provider uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all phones support all 4G bands, so you should guarantee that your Oppo Reno5 Lite supports the bands offered in your area.
It’s hard to standardize 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 segmented the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
The Oppo Reno5 Lite 4G supported bands are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 38, 40, 41, 66;.
