Cellular technologies have upgraded enormously, One of the main developments is the emergence of 4G technology. It’s a term that you’ve definitely faced in your daily life, but what is 4G? And is ZTE Zmax Pro 4G enabled? We are going to answer these and other questions related to ZTE Zmax Pro 4G technology in the following article.
is ZTE Zmax Pro 4g eligible?
Yes. The ZTE Zmax Pro supports 4G Network.
Checking the availability of 4G on ZTE Zmax Pro
Nowadays, it is inevitable 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 methods.
An easy way when you hold the phone in your palm is just switching on the mobile data, if the ZTE Zmax Pro 4G data is activated, then you will see a sign at the top of the screen, in the signal bar. It might be 4G, 4G+, LTE, or LTE+ according to your carrier.
The absence of that symbol means that you are not connected to 4G at that specific moment, and it doesn’t mean obligatorily that your phone doesn’t enable 4G. And that leads us to the second option.
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 is 4G capable you will find 4G option or LTE. If you don’t see 4G or LTE, then your smartphone doesn’t support the standard.
How to switch to 4G on ZTE Zmax Pro?
If you would like to switch on your ZTE Zmax Pro 4G network, then follow the instructions (it might vary slightly from the settings on your own device):
1- From Home screen, tap Apps.
2- From the Apps tab, tap Settings.
3- Tap More.
4- Tap 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 need to turn off 4G then choose an inferior network type (e.g. 3G) or tap Only 5G if it’s possible.
Learn about 4G technology on ZTE Zmax Pro
4G describes mobile network technology. It was determined by the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) and used by mobile network operators. To call a system 4G it should meet some specifications.
The ‘G’ in 4G is the first letter of the word generation, and 4 is the order of the generation, just after 3G and before 5G. 4G networks have to deliver internet speeds much faster than 3G, they also provide low latency, which is essential for some uses such as gaming services.
The most prevalent protocols defined by ITU as a 4G are HSPA+ and LTE. ZTE Zmax Pro 4G and 4G in most phones today rely on one or both of them, which makes 4G the fastest most deployed mobile network.
What distinguishes 4G on ZTE Zmax Pro?
4G is a developed technology that drove a lot of potential for users. It enables 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 only a few milliseconds, 4G latency made HD web streaming attainable, and a much more developed video games experience.
4G has also clearer voice calls, thanks to the VoLTE standard. It also allows you to check out the internet while making voice calls. All of these advantages are within your reach with ZTE Zmax Pro 4G technology.
What are 4G bands? and which bands are available in your ZTE Zmax Pro?
4G and other cellular technologies use radio waves to transfer data. These waves have different lengths and frequencies. To prevent interference between signals, governments and the ITU decided which regions use which frequencies for 4G.
Each region has been allocated certain frequency intervals termed bands. Band number 7 and band number 28 (for example) are used all over the globe.
What you should be aware of as a consumer is that each cellular provider permits certain bands according to the area, and different phones enable different bands. So you have to make sure that your ZTE Zmax Pro supports the bands offered by your local cellular provider.
Here are the ZTE Zmax Pro 4G enabled bands:
2, 4, 12;.
