5G Speed Up Internet Browser for Android
What's the difference between 3G and 4G and when can we expect 5G to hit the UK? Here's how to tell how fast your phone's internet connection is, and how to improve your data speeds.
Smartphones can connect to the internet using a variety of different methods over a mobile network. The indicator at the top of your phone’s screen not only shows your signal strength, but can also tell you what type of data connection you are using to get online, revealing how fast your mobile internet is.
The faster the connection type, the quicker you can download (or upload) information, which is very important for streaming music or video on your mobile phone. Here's what to expect from your data connection.
Airplane mode
The small silhouette of an airplane is used when your phone’s radios, including its mobile, WiFi and Bluetooth connections, are all switched off. In this mode no connectivity is active and you can only use apps and services which don’t require any form of data connection to function properly. That means no web browsing and no streaming of music or video.
