Wireless mobile technologies have developed enormously, One of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve certainly encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Grand X4 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Grand X4 4G technology in the following article.
Does ZTE Grand X4 have 4G?
Yes. 4G is one of the ZTE Grand X4 inherent features.
How do you tell whether the ZTE Grand X4 is 4G capable or not?
Before buying your phone you want to make sure that it enables 4G. you have so many methods 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 don’t have them or you are still lying on your sofa trying to find a suitable device for you, you can do the same on the internet using the device name or model number.
If you want to check your current phone, just turn on the mobile data, if the ZTE Grand X4 4G data is in use, then you will see immediately a 4G icon 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 search 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 either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G capable.
How to switch to 4G on ZTE Grand X4?
If you would like to enable your ZTE Grand X4 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might differ slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, select Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, select Settings.
3- Move to All settings.
4- Tap Dual SIM settings.
5- Tap Network mode.
6- Choose the sim card you want to manage (the one used for data if your device is dual sim).
7- Choose 4G or LTE.
Note: If you want to switch off 4G then choose an inferior network type (such as 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Introduction to 4G technology on ZTE Grand X4
4G is an acronym for fourth-generation wireless. This means the fourth generation of mobile communication technology. It was developed after 3G and it is ahead of 5G. It was first officially publicly released in 2009, and it was made accessible years after all around the world.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is way faster than 3G. Currently, it is the highest technology adopted by most mobile phones all around the world.
ZTE Grand X4 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed how we use phones, it made it possible for users to stream high-quality videos (for example). The good speed of 4G network turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do anything possible on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE-Advanced are the most known 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
What are the advantages of 4G on ZTE Grand X4?
4G has all the attributes of 3G at more speed. It provides download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times faster than 3G. And it allows 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, Despite the fact that it’s only a bit lower than 3G, it is very important for some use cases such as video conferencing or online gaming, and other live interactions.
The emergence of VoLTE standard added another advantage to 4g network which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet concurrently, with even more appropriate voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with ZTE Grand X4 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in the ZTE Grand X4
A 4G band is an interval of frequencies used by wireless service providers. Why this matters to you? It matters because each wireless service provider uses special bands corresponding to the area. And not all mobiles support all 4G bands, so you should make sure your ZTE Grand X4 4G bands are the same as the bands present in your area, otherwise, it can’t use 4G and it will be useless.
It’s hard to unite the bands globally, because each government uses different bands for different radio transactions aside from 4g (such as aeronautics and radio broadcasts). Despite this, the ITU divided the world into 3 regions and bands for each region.
