Wireless mobile technologies have progressed enormously, One of the main developments is the rise of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Blade V7 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Blade V7 4G technology in the following article.
Does ZTE Blade V7 have 4G?
Yes. The ZTE Blade V7 has all the conditions to connect to 4G networks.
Checking the availability of 4G on ZTE Blade V7
Nowadays, it is unavoidable to own a 4G-capable phone, 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 phone in your palm is just switching on the mobile data, if the ZTE Blade V7 4G data is activated, then you will find an icon at the top of the screen, in the status bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that icon means that you are not connected to 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t mean definitely that your phone doesn’t enable 4G. And that leads us to the second way.
Check your phone criteria on the user guide, or in the phone box. If you lost both of them you can still check that on the official website (or any other reliable website) using the device name or model number.
Another way is to check the settings: open your settings and fetch 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 doesn’t have the technology.
How to switch to 4G on ZTE Blade V7?
If you would like to turn on your ZTE Blade V7 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap More.
4- Choose Mobile networks (or Cellular networks).
5- Select the sim card you want to manage (the one used for data if your device is dual sim).
6- Select Preferred network type.
7- Choose 4G or LTE option.
Note: If you want to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (3G for example) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Get to know what is 4G on ZTE Blade V7
4G describes cellular network technology. It was prescribed by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used by mobile network operators. To name a system 4G it should meet some specifications.
The ‘G’ in 4G stands for generation, and 4 means the fourth one, following 3G and preceding 5G. 4G networks should grant internet speeds much better than 3G, they also grant low latency, which is vital for some uses such as gaming services.
The most common protocols determined by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. ZTE Blade V7 4G and 4G in most devices today use one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most utilized cellular network.
Feature of 4G technology on ZTE Blade V7
4G was established to provide a more reliable internet connection on phones, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology presents much better 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 prominent criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can promote 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 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 surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G increased the use of ZTE Blade V7 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in the ZTE Blade V7
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 make sure your ZTE Blade V7 supports the bands provided in your area.
It’s hard to unite the bands at the international level, 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 ZTE Blade V7 4G supported bands are:
1, 3, 7, 8, 20;2, 4, 7, 12, 28;.
