Cellular technologies have advanced enormously, One of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve absolutely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Blade 10 Prime 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Blade 10 Prime 4G technology in the following article.
Does ZTE Blade 10 Prime have 4G?
Yes. The ZTE Blade 10 Prime is compatible with 4G technology.
How do you tell whether the ZTE Blade 10 Prime is 4G capable or not?
There are multiple ways to check the existence of 4G in your ZTE Blade 10 Prime, or any other phone. And assuming you’re not a techy person , I recommend that you start by checking the phone box, network information is usually provided there. Or you can simply search on google using your phone model name and figure out the information on the official website of the manufacturer.
If you have already bought the phone and inserted the SIM card, you can turn on the mobile data, if the phone connects to a 4G network you will observe a 4G ot LTE sign up on the signal bar.
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 supports 4G you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone isn’t 4G capable.
How to switch to 4G on ZTE Blade 10 Prime?
If you need to switch on your ZTE Blade 10 Prime 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change a bit from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap Network & Internet.
4- Choose Mobile network.
5- Tap Advanced.
6- Select preferred network type.
7- Choose the sim card you want to manage (the one used for data if your device is dual sim).
8- Choose 4G or LTE.
Note: If you want to turn off 4G then choose a lower network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
What is 4G on ZTE Blade 10 Prime?
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the entity that defined 4G in the first place, 4G is the fourth generation of wireless technologies. It comes just after 3G and preceding 5G.
4G has very high internet uploading/downloading speeds, ten times more than 3G, Which is enormous. It also has 50ms latency, much less than 3G.
4G is not just one technology, but a set of technologies compatible with ITU specifications. It includes LTE, LTE+, and HSPA+.
Advantages of 4G on ZTE Blade 10 Prime
4G has all the attributes 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 advantage, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Although it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very significant for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The development of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and surf the internet in parallel, with even more suitable voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with ZTE Blade 10 Prime 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your ZTE Blade 10 Prime
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what is a frequency. Frequency is the repetition of an event, it is measured in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are used for different applications besides 4G (radio broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is vital to decide which frequencies must be used for what purpose. 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 ZTE Blade 10 Prime, is whether it supports the bands provided in your area by your local cellular provider or not. The ZTE Blade 10 Prime 4G supported bands are :
2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 66;.
