Wireless mobile technologies have improved enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is Oppo Reno6 Z 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to Oppo Reno6 Z 4G technology in the following article.
Does Oppo Reno6 Z have 4G?
Yes. 4G technology is one of the Oppo Reno6 Z essential features.
How do you tell whether the Oppo Reno6 Z is 4G capable or not?
Nowadays, it is necessary to buy a 4G-capable phone, because most internet users require a good internet connection. To know whether the phone is 4G enabled you can use multiple means.
An easy method when you have the phone in your hand is just turning on the cellular data, if the Oppo Reno6 Z 4G data is on, then you will find an icon at the top of the display, 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 using 4G at that particular moment, and it doesn’t mean necessarily that your phone doesn’t support 4G. And that takes us to the second way.
Check your phone specifications on the manual, or in the phone box. If you don’t have any of them you can still check that on the official site (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
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 is 4G enabled you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G capable.

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 Reno6 Z?
4G has all the functionalities of 3G at more speed. It offers download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it offers more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, ranging from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Even though it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very essential for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.

What are 4G bands? and which bands are supported on your Oppo Reno6 Z?
4G and other cellular technologies use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals known as bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all over the world.
