Cellular technologies have progressed enormously, One of the main developments is the development of 4G technology. It’s a word that you’ve definitely encountered in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Maven 4G capable? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Maven 4G technology in the following article.
Does ZTE Maven have 4G?
Yes. The ZTE Maven is 4G compatible phone
How can I know whether the ZTE Maven supports 4G or not?
It’s not a big deal to check whether your device is 4G enabled, but it’s still useful to know how to do it. Because you don’t want to be left over with a phone lacking an essential technology nowadays.
You can check the information directly by googling the phone name or model number, and checking on the official site of the manufacturer or any other reliable site. If you are a classic person, you can check the user guide or the device box.
Another easy way is checking the signal bar while the cellular data is on, if the ZTE Maven 4G data is on use, then you will see a 4G or LTE symbol there. If it’s not present then you should consider another way.
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 is 4G enabled you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see either of them, then your smartphone isn’t 4G capable.

Learn about 4G technology on ZTE Maven
4G stands for fourth-generation wireless. Meaning the fourth generation of cellular communication technology. It was produced after 3G and it comes before 5G. It was first officially publicly announced in 2009, and it was made affordable years after all around the globe.
Although 4G network is not as fast as 5G, it is much faster than 3G. Currently, it is the strongest technology adopted by most mobile phones globally.
ZTE Maven 4G technology and 4G in other devices changed the way we use phones, it allowed users to stream HD videos (as an example). The high speed of 4G technology turned smartphones into computers since smartphone users can do everything permitted on computers.
LTE (stands for Long Term Evolution) and LTE+ are the most popular 4G standards, and usually, people are confused between them.
Advantages of 4G on ZTE Maven
4G has all the features of 3G at more speed. It allows download speeds of around 14 Mbps up to speeds as high as 150 Mbps, five times more than 3G. And it allows more than ten times the uploading data speeds of 3G, starting from 8Mbps up to 50 Mbps.
Low latency is another feature, it ranges from 60ms to 98 ms, Despite the fact that it’s only a few milliseconds lower than 3G, it is very vital for some use cases including video conferencing or online gaming, and other real-time interactions.
The rise of VoLTE standard added another feature to 4g technology which is the ability to make phone calls and navigate the internet in parallel, with even better voice quality. All of these advantages are within your reach with ZTE Maven 4G technology.
Get to know 4G bands in your ZTE Maven
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 known as 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 mobile provider offers specific bands according to the area, and different phones support different bands. So you should make sure that your ZTE Maven supports the bands provided by your local carrier.
Here are the ZTE Maven 4G supported bands:
2, 4, 5, 17;.
