Right now, 3 major networks have the 4G LTE service in Nigeria and they are MTN, Glo and Etisalat. Other networks in Nigeria with 4G LTE services are Spectranet, ntel, Swift and Smile. We are expecting Airtel to roll out their 4G services soon.

Most of the 4G smartphones in Nigeria use band 3, 4, 7, 20 or 28.

Check out what band your preferred network has below:

MTN 4G LTE , supports band 20 (800MHz) and Band 7 (2600MHz)

Glo 4G LTE, supports band 28 (700MHz)

Etisalat 4G LTE, supports band 3 (1800MHz)

NTEL 4G LTE, supports band 8 (900MHz) and Band 3 (1800MHz)

Spectranet and Swift, supports band 40 (2300mhz)
Smile, supports band 20 (800mhz)

We're going to list the phone brands one by one to know which one comes with the 4G network. We'll be considering Tecno, Samsung, HTC, Infinix, iTel and Huawei

In order not to make the thread bulky and boring, we'll analyze the phones thread by thread.

Samsung, Tecno, Huawei among others.

How to Check Your 4G LTE Network Band Via Mtk Engineering

1.Download MTK Engineering Mode fromGoogle Play store or search for it on Google
2.Install the app
3.Tap MTK Settings
4.Tap BandMode
5. Select your SIM


You will see a list of band mode, from GSM to LTE,
If you cannot tick the band 28 check box, then forget about using Glo 4G LTE service.
If you cannot tick the band 3 check box, then forget about using Etisalat 4G LTE service.
If you are not able tick band 20 or 7 check box, your phone is not supported for MTN 4G LTE service. If you use Ntel and you can’t tick band 8 or band 3, then your smartphone has no support for Ntel network.

From this above, it is pretty obvious that Tecno 4G phone supports ETISALAT, MTN, NTEL, and SMILE network. For MTN n network you will need to visit any of their care center closest to you for a sim upgrade, but for Etisalat the upgrade has been confirmed in most areas in LAGOS Port Harcourt and Abuja. Other cities should be next..... So guys what are you waiting for, go get a Tecno phone having a 4g network and enjoy the browsing speed of light... Cheers

Before the end of the week, other specs for other brands will be listed so you know which to chose. Variety they say is the spice of life.

I guess you didn't read the content of the thread properly before typing.

Op said he will visit the other brands one by one.

So if had started with Samsung, that would have made the OP a Samsung Sales person?

Don't be a sadist. Others like myself just gained a vital information.

Cheers

Based on logistics, if you're not using a 4G enabled Smartphone then you're...........

I think the Phonepad 3 is 4G enabled too

Very informative thread, nice one man.

This is the type of information to be making front page o! A lot of us are ignorant of this. I just learnt something. cc lalasticlala, Seun.

Thanks OP

Good info bro

I just weak, even the 2g and 3g network dey very poor,
All these network providers should upgrade the 2g and 3g first before giving us 4g.
NCC should step up their game and make Nigerians get value for their money.

MTN 4G is the best...

Airtel ko?

There's no 4G in Nigeria yet. What we have is 3.75G! Don't let these telcos deceive you.

What I need is 4q

investigator007,

Mate that app isn't working on my Android phone.

PS. Does GLO really have 4G or its juts HSPA+ that they're hyping?

Why would Glo used a band that is not common?

They are on their own.

Glo keep falling our hand. Why go for a scarse band. They need to relaunch their 4g to band 3 or 7 or 20 b4 I dump them.

glo ke?

Segadem:
What I need is 4q

It is 4G not 4Q

Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro

As everything is costly now, i still love my 3g enabled Gionee m3
