Mobile technologies have evolved enormously, One of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve surely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Imperial II 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Imperial II 4G technology in the following article.
Does ZTE Imperial II have 4G?
Yes. 4G is one of the ZTE Imperial II built-in attributes.
How do you tell whether the ZTE Imperial II is 4G enabled or not?
It’s not rocket science to find out whether your phone is 4G capable, but it’s still necessary to know how to do it. Because you don’t want to be left over with a device lacking an essential technology nowadays.
You can check the information directly by googling the phone name or model number, and checking on the official website of the manufacturer or any other credible website. If you are a classic person, you can check the manual or the phone package.
Another easy method is checking the status bar while the mobile data is on, if the ZTE Imperial II 4G data is activated, then you will notice a 4G or LTE sign there. If it’s not mentioned then you must consider another method.
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 has 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 Imperial II?
If you intend to turn on your ZTE Imperial II 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might change slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, choose Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, choose Settings.
3- Tap More.
4- Select 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 prefer 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 Imperial II
4G is the fourth generation of cellular communication technologies, it comes just after 3G and before 5G. Although 5G is considered the highest technology available in the world, 4G is still the fastest most spread technology.
4G comes with fast uploading and downloading speeds, exceeding the previous 3G technology, and it also has decreased latency, allowing users to do much more activities using their phones, things such as live conferencing.
To be more specific, 4G is a designation assigned by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and it is also a commercial expression used by wireless carriers to exhibit a set of protocols used in their networks.
One of the most famous protocols is LTE and LTE-Advanced, So for ZTE Imperial II 4G to be useful, it should be suitable with the protocols used by the local mobile network operators.
Feature of 4G technology on ZTE Imperial II
4G was developed to grant a more reliable internet connection on mobiles, and that’s clearly what it did. 4G technology allows much stronger 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 significant criterion of 4G, is its low latency. We can present latency as the time needed to transmit data or the delay between the action and the actual response. Lesser 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 offers better voice quality in phone calls and gives users the ability to surf the internet while making calls.
All of these advantages combined with the low cost of 4G extended the use of ZTE Imperial II 4G technology, to include better video conferencing, online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
Get to know 4G bands in the ZTE Imperial II
Before talking about 4G bands, you should know what is a frequency. Frequency is the repetition of an event, it is measured in radio communication by hertz (Hz).
Since radio waves are exploited for several purposes besides 4G (radio broadcasting and Aeronautics as examples), it is vital to identify which frequencies must be used for what reason. Otherwise, radio waves will contradict, and it would be a mess.
Governments and ITU allocated each range of frequencies (called bands) to specific uses.
What you should consider as a user of ZTE Imperial II, is whether it supports the bands offered in your area by your local cellular operator or not. The ZTE Imperial II 4G supported bands are :
2, 4, 5, 12, 17;.
