Cellular technologies have upgraded enormously, One of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Blade V8 Pro 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Blade V8 Pro 4G technology in the following article.
is ZTE Blade V8 Pro 4g enabled?
Absolotely, The ZTE Blade V8 Pro has the required hardware and software to support 4G bands.
How do you tell whether the ZTE Blade V8 Pro is 4G capable or not?
Before buying your phone you want to make sure that it enables 4G. you have so many ways to do it, we will list some of them here. The most obvious option is to check the specifications on the user guide or in the device’s package.

If you would like to check your current phone, just turn on the mobile data, if the ZTE Blade V8 Pro 4G data is in use, then you will see immediately a 4G symbol on the top of the screen. You might notice LTE or LTE+ instead of it. However, this method might be misleading if you are not on a 4G offer, or you are out of coverage.
Another way is to check the settings: Go to your settings and find 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 doesn’t have the technology.

Introduction to 4G technology on ZTE Blade V8 Pro
It is the term used to describe the fourth generation wireless technology. It was identified in 2008 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), an agency that defines the specification of the 4G technology, and previous technologies such as 2G and 3G. 4G now is the main cellular technology adopted by most mobile phones around the world.
4G comes with speeds faster than its precedent 3G, thus its release expanded the use of smartphones. Nowadays, phone users can do almost the same tasks that were only achieved on computers before the rise of 4G.
The most famous protocol labeled 4G is LTE and the technologies developed from it such as LTE-A. Usually, people confuse the two terms. For ZTE Blade V8 Pro 4G to be adequate, it should be compatible with the protocols used by the local wireless service providers.
What distinguishes 4G on ZTE Blade V8 Pro?
4G was implemented to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s exactly what it did. 4G technology presents much enhanced downloading and uploading speeds than 3G.
The average 3G speed ranges from 1.5 to 9 Mbit/s, while the average 4G internet speed ranges between 15 to 90 Mbit/s, it can reach as high as 900 Mbit/s.
Another important criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can simplify latency and say it’s the time needed to transfer data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Low latency means a better user experience. 4G has 100% better latency than 3G. The average 4G latency is 50 ms.
With the help of the VoLTE standard, 4G now presents 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 widened the use of ZTE Blade V8 Pro 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are supported on the ZTE Blade V8 Pro?
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 allocated certain frequency intervals known as bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all over the world.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each mobile operator permits certain bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you have to make sure that your ZTE Blade V8 Pro supports the bands offered by your local mobile provider.
Here are the ZTE Blade V8 Pro 4G enabled bands:
2, 4, 5, 7, 12;.
