Select network mode

4G/LTE enables you to achieve higher data speeds than when using 3G or GSM. If you turn on 4G/LTE, your mobile phone automatically switches between the network modes provided you're within range of a 4G/LTE network. If you turn off 4G/LTE, you can't achieve high data speeds.

Tap the indicator next to "Enable 4G" to turn the function on or off.
