Introduction to 4G technology on Xiaomi Redmi Go
4G stands for fourth-generation wireless. Meaning the fourth generation of cellular communication technology. It was built up after 3G and it is ahead of 5G. It was first officially released to the public in 2009, and it was made affordable years after all around the globe.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is much faster than 3G. Currently, it is the speediest technology adopted by most mobile phones all over the world.
Xiaomi Redmi Go 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed the way we use phones, it allowed users to stream HD videos (as an example). The high speed of 4G technology turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do everything permitted on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE-Advanced are the most popular 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
Why 4G on Xiaomi Redmi Go is important?
4G was established to provide a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology presents much stronger downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed is around 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 significant criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to send data or the delay between the action and the actual execution. Lesser latency means a better user experience. 4G Latency is better than 3G by double. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the assistance of the VoLTE standard, 4G now presents better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the capability to browse the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G augmented the use of Xiaomi Redmi Go 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are available in your Xiaomi Redmi Go?
Before talking about 4G bands, you should find out what is a frequency. Frequency is the repetition of an event, it is quantified in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are utilized for several purposes besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is necessary to determine which frequencies must be used for what reason. 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 Xiaomi Redmi Go, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local mobile operator or not. The Xiaomi Redmi Go 4G enabled bands are :
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41;.
