First, the basics: The “G” stands for
generation, meaning 4G is the most current generation of cell phone network
coverage and speeds. 3G technology created the first networks fast enough to
make smartphones practical. Before that, they were too slow to allow you do all
the things that make smartphones great, like streaming videos, surfing the web
and downloading music.
But it’s 4G that’s really allowed
smartphone technology to spread its wings. That’s because it’s much, much
faster than 3G. So when you want to download a new game or stream a TV show in
HD, you can do it without buffering and lags that make the experience not worth
the wait.
4G is pretty much everywhere now, but
even if you happen to be in a place that only has 3G, your phone will
automatically switch to 3G so you’ll experience no call problems—just slower
Internet speeds.
