Introduction to 4G technology on ZTE Flash
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+.
Why 4G on ZTE Flash is important?
4G is an evolved technology that enabled a lot of possibilities for users. It enables much more speed than 3G technology, while the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G has an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another benefit is the low latency. Although the difference in Latency is a little, 4G latency made HD web streaming attainable, and a much better video games experience.
4G has also better quality voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also enables you to browse the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with ZTE Flash 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your ZTE Flash
4G and other mobile networks use radio waves to transmit data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To avoid interference between signals, governments and the ITU regulated which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been designated certain frequency intervals termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (as an example) are used in the whole world.
What you should know as a consumer is that each cellular operator permits specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you should make sure that your ZTE Flash supports the bands provided by your local mobile provider.
