Cellular technologies have advanced enormously, One of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve surely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Grand X Max+ 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Grand X Max+ 4G technology in the following article.
is ZTE Grand X Max+ 4g capable?
Absolotely, The ZTE Grand X Max+ has the necessary hardware and software to enable 4G bands.
How do you tell whether the ZTE Grand X Max+ is 4G enabled or not?
Nowadays, it is necessary to buy 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.

The absence of that icon means that you are not connected to 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t mean certainly that your phone doesn’t enable 4G. And that leads us to the second method.
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 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 doesn’t support the standard.

Get to know what is 4G on ZTE Grand X Max+
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+.
Feature of 4G technology on ZTE Grand X Max+
4G is a developed technology that drove a lot of potential for users. It offers much more speed than 3G network, while the average speed of 3G is 3Mbit/s, 4G offers an average of 10 Mbit/s.
Another advantage is the low latency. Despite the fact that the difference in Latency is very small, 4G latency made HD web streaming affordable, and a much more suitable video games experience.

What are 4G bands? and which bands are available in your ZTE Grand X Max+?
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 multiple purposes besides 4G (television broadcasting and satellite communication as examples), it is essential to decide which frequencies must be used for what purpose. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU designated each range of frequencies (called bands) to certain uses.
