Access High-Speed Data with an LG 4G Smartphone

LG produces a variety of smartphones with 4G data connections across several mobile networks. Many of their smartphones contain additional offline features, such as a camera for taking family photos or a screen that you can access with your fingertips. Understanding how 4G mobile data plans work, what phones might use them, and the features you can choose from may help you find a product that meets your needs.

How does a 4G connection work?

the term 4G refers to the fourth generation of most broadband mobile networks and is a measure of how quickly the data is transferred from one point to the next. Each network must meet some technical specifications in order to gain the 4G classification. Some of the technical standards are:

  • Mobile speed: A 4G data connection must be able to offer users top transfer rates of 100 Mbps if they are traveling in cars, trains, or other vehicles.
  • Stationary speed: A 4G network should be able to provide peak rates of 1 Gbps for users that are walking or standing still.

There's also 4G LTE, which is designed for heavy data use, such as when you watch movies, make video calls, or play online games on your phone. If you use such things often, a 4G LTE device would be beneficial to you.

What kinds of plans can you get?

The phone plans available to you may depend on the type of LG Android phone you get and the requirements of your provider. However, there are three primary options that may be available to you:

  • Prepaid: A prepaid Android phone does not require a contract. You will add the number of minutes and the amount of data you need each month. This is also called a "pay as you go" system.
  • Contract: If you purchase a phone with a contract, it usually includes a plan with a fixed amount of data and other benefits. You pay a set price each month to access these features.
  • No contract: These Android phones are sold without any agreements from a specific carrier. After a short trial period, you will own the phone.
