You've probably seen ads with all sorts of naming schemes like 3G, 4G, 4G LTE, 5G, but what does it all mean? What's the difference between 4G LTE and 4G? Or is there a difference at all? It can be pretty confusing, so in this video I break it all down, going over the different cellular network generations and their sub types.

So LTE stands for "Less Than Expected"
That's hilarious....😂
Haha...

3G: I’m slow.
1G: get on my turtles.
You mean 1x
0g: I- Please check your internet connection.
😂😂😂
@@mooncraft7950 1x?
I'll stick with 4g. Once everyone and their grandmother jumps onto 5g, 4g should speed up....
Hell, that's why I went back to 3g!
My company actually went slower blaming that the phone isnt campatable and its slower basically tring to get me get a new phone
Big brain
@@isaacrodriguez2992 I have heard that before. I could care less about 5g.
Telecom Companies will slow down 4G once 5G rolls out in order make customers pay more. They did that with 3G, before 4G we used to get pretty decent speeds. But when they rolled out 4G, their 3G speeds could barely open websites.
Oh yeah well I use 6.9G get on my level
I got 10G
I see what you did there.
That's bad for ur health XD 5g is too
I'm using 420G
Inquisitive Tony Lol 🤣
For an extremely complex and convoluted subject I thought you did an excellent job of explaining it.
Thank you for clearing it out. You have a talent of passing information so smoothly.
Hi Thio. Have never commented on your videos I just watch and listen. But this time I have to say thank you for this clarifications even for a not so savy techy person, I understood your explanation. Thank you!
That is one positive testimonial
AT&T said they use _5G_ to refer to "working towards 5G", so they just need to re-label to _5G LTE_ to be "honest". 😐
*5GE
"5G E"
Better than E
I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S-II, which was advertised as having 4G capabilities. Yet nowadays, my iPhone 6S doesn't ever mention 4G. It only displays "LTE", despite 4G being possible in the current era.
So, basically:
3G -> 4G LTE -> 4G LTE-A=4G -> 5G
Now if you think that's bad, look at the USB naming convention.
Edit: Changed signs to display arrows -> which was what I wanted to do initially.
usb 3.1 gen 1
Hey your signs are facing the wrong way, you are saying 3g is better that 4g when it should be 34
@@jimmyvictus7305 I meant it as arrows going to the next generation, not mathematically which number is greater.
Yup, your signs are backwards.
3G ➡ 4G ➡ 4G+ ➡ 5G
Fixed your chart.
Happen to randomly stumbled on this video, and I have to say that you did so well in explaining the topic that makes it so easy to understand
A viewpoint from an Aussie - after we shut down our Analogue FTA networks, that segment of the spectrum was quickly adapted to be used for 4G network coverage as what Telstra (one of our major telecos and network providers) dubbed as "4GX" - all the benefits of 4G speeds and reliability at much longer ranges from the base towers than baseline 4G due to using the lower frequencies (previously used by Analogue FTA) that travel further than the 4G frequencies used in the cities when originally rolled out.
4GX was a big boon for upgrading the mobile phone services from 3G to 4G in rural areas such as most of the Riverina in NSW - where it's nothing but farmland for miles on end and you're easily travelling 40km/25mi between small towns and need good reliable coverage the whole way.
Heck, I'm personally using a 4G Mobile Broadband internet connection from Optus (our second largest teleco/ISP) as my home internet, getting 500GB/month at 200-250mbps down and 50-75mbps up for just $69 AUD/month (recontracted down from $80-85 AUD/month), in a town where the only hardwire internet service is 8000/384kbps ADSL(2) and the fabled NBN (National Broadband Network) with its promised FTTP is nowhere in sight, as the nearest town to mine (40km away) only has NBN "Fixed Wireless" that caps out at 100/40mbps (though apparently with unlimited data).
Thanks for clarifying a lot of confusion on 4G, 5G, etc.
I actually learn something about 5G... Like you said, 5G is mostly used for home internet which surprised me. Thanks
GREAT explanation mate, love your vids, KEEP THEM COMING
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MAN.. looking forward for more videos.
Excellent explanation about the differences in the technologies. Several years ago I learned that 4G LTE was not as good as 4G till you explained it. I always considered 4G LTE as the Light Weight Version of 4G.
4G stands for 4th Generation, of phones. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. LTE is the cellphone communication standard (network and modulation, encoding/decoding standard). LTE has been the global standard since 4rd Generation (4G) of phones.
When you have RUclipsrs doing LTE vs 4G vs 5G video, it means they don't really know what they are talking about.
@@starbase51shiptestingfacil97 funny to see you mention ppl not knowing what they are talking about as you type out ( 4rd ) l m F a o, you are funny man
Back in 2011, I was working on the LTE rollout for a Canadian cell carrier. Even back then, LTE was often referred to as 4G LiTE, as the full 4G spec wasn't yet available.
Thanks Thio Joe, another great video, you produce excellent content full videos that are always easily explained. Could you possibly do a video on 4G/5G Routers, my apologies if you have already made one, I have an unlimited 4G contract for my broadband as the landline speeds were horrendous.
Thanks for the info thiojoe. You are very informative and helpful.
Thanks for the knowledge buddy, much appreciated!! All the way from South Africa
Pretty screwed up industry. Setting unattainable specifications then changing the label to accommodate it? Clusterfork!
Because if all this bs most of the older generation people paying for inferior tech even though better tech exist for the same price or at a slight increase. Even now people are hesitant to fit 1080p because they think it's expensive.
@@420sakura1 What do you mean "fit?"
@@420sakura1 no it's because the 4g was literally an impossible standard.
Fun fact :
Verizons 3G is faster than T-mobile 4G
Lmao that is true
Yep
Sadly this is very true, I get around 4-6 Mbps with T-Mobile LTE and I live in a fairly large city
Verizon is trash.
Cody Volff T-Mobile is trash
This video was very helpful. Thank you so much!
Thiojoe remember the video you made about flat earthers 🤣🤣🤣 gets me every time
Since 3.5G, my problem rarely has been the actual speed of the connection, but rather the very restrictive download limit after which carriers reduce your speed to 64 kbit.
It would make sense for Apple to future proof their next phone by having it be 5 G compatible. Why would I give up my current iPhone otherwise. It had better be a more compelling reason than they given us in the last two iterations.
Very well explained for common folks to understand the tech jargon!!
Your 3G blurb unlocked a memory deep in my brain of a Kyocera 2235 cell phone my mom used to have, and a game on it called Cavern Crawl... and now I'm buying old 2002 cell phones on eBay to play games that are bound to be supremely nostalgic and slightly disappointing in the gameplay area, hahah. This was like a "foundational game" for me if you will though, it's a roguelike I played long before discovering my love for Nethack or Binding of Isaac, and I'm so happy to have found it again that I just had to thank you for triggering it for me.
EDIT: I should mention that the Kyocera 2235 was the first 3G Verizon phone, so that's probably why the memory was unlocked, although I didn't even remember that when I was looking it up, it was just something I read in the eBay listing haha. Memory is weird!
Price is definitely different
I told a T-Mobile rep that I was good with the 4G version of the Note 10 plus becauseI drive alot in the dead zones of the heartland. Then... he tried telling me that the boondocks, forest and nonpopulated areas would get 5G first (to test it out before the Cities and Suburbs) so I should be good with 5G 😂😂😂 It was everything I could do not to laugh in his face for that.
You do a great job. I appreciate your videos and I am very glad you decided to take your considerable talents and produce serious content. Don't get me wrong, the earlier ones were funny but I like the reals one much better. Thank you :)
Great! Very clear and easy to understand! Thanks!
Bytes, no. Bits yes as in Gbps (Giga bits per second) because internet wireless broadcast sensitivity is measured in bits not Bytes. Micro SD card data transfer speed is different altogether... which is measured in Mega Bytes per second or MB/s.
Bytes as in the capital letter B.
bits as in the smaller letter b.
Thanks!
Great explanation. Thank you so much. One question, would you advise sticking with 4G device for the next 2 or 3 years until they work out the actual real 5G service, or would you immediately invest in a 5G cell phone?
90% + you can never go wrong with letting the TESTERS try it first before you invest. Allow them to work out the kinks.
Me personally, My 4G LTE is fine. By the time I need an upgrade 5G will be rocking and rolling.
Incredibly helpful! Thanks!
Everyday i learn new from ur video. Thank you and well done! Great job 👍
When you realize this guy uploads troll videos before ... Speed internet for free etc... 🤣🤣🤣

In India we are lucky even if we get 4 megabytes per second eventhough we have '4G' phones and network. Even the icon says 4G.
That’s 3G+ if it shows 4G.
The Samsung S10 announced today will have a 5G model which will be available by the end of next month. Most UK networks will begin rollout at the end of this year in major cities and then most of the other towns and cities will get 5G next year.
Your video gave many answers for my many questions. thank you
In India 4G is max 15mbps and you are saying 3G has gone to 20mbps, man Indian telecom are using low speed spectrum i guess.
Bro internet in india sucks bc. Foreign country mai mobile internet speed apne wifi ke barabar hai 😔

Wow, that was super informative. Thanks.
If you see 4G on your phone and you have T-Mobile or sprint it’s really 3G
If you see LTE, it’s 4G LTE or LTE-a
LTE advanced (LTE-a) is real 4G
Some phones show LTE-A. As in LTE+
@@boostedforte5555 yup
The 4G shown on T-Mobile is actually known as 3G+ or HSPA+.
4g=four grandkids who'll watch thiojoe
4g lte=four grandkids with long term evolution who'll watch thiojoe
5g=oh wait,facepalm.
So which one to use LTE or 4G if your iPhone XR has both? Or does it depends on your cellular service??
Very informative video, Thanks!
Oh boy, got an ad for the whole '5G is gonna give you radiation poisoning' conspiracy theory.
Don't worry, when 6g is about to come out in several years, they can say the same old lies

Isn't Jio rolling out 5G slowly?

You forgot new frequency range in WiFi!
Daaamn! 1gps minimum and a 20 gps upper limit! That's truly amazing.
for your health too !!!
@@technus102 nonsense
ikr thats crazy good but the radiation is crazy bad.
I have heard wireless AP can also have generation, like 4G and 5G , not frequency but generation. How does that work ?
As example Cisco has AP with 4G, 5G support.
Thanks for the breakdown
It's funny talking about 4G and LTE. In the UK LTE basically doesn't exist and our 4G just sucks. Doesn't matter what network you're with. With 4G advance rolling out (slowly) companies like Vodafone, Three and EE (T-Mobile and Orange (now owned by BT)) 4G is much better and now pushing at 50MBPS if you're lucky. Not going to lie when I say I'm excited for 5G, these companies are getting serious and are trying to compete in being first to bring it to market. All exciting stuff. Now all we need to to see ISPs improve on fibre internet with at least 300 up and down instead of 60 down and 15 up.
I love seeing everything that's going on in this space and again Hella excited. I mean the UK might get 5G at the end of this year with the recent news coming from Three.
May family left the UK in the 1830s and came to America cause the cellular service was better if the UK had better cellular service maybe people might come back.
And then there's the branding of 4G by AT&T as "5G E"
Most Australians don't accept when they have decent internet speeds because we are constantly told how bad it is here. I get up to 220mbps on 4G in Darwin on the Telstra network (our biggest network). Telstra has also released 5G already showing real world speeds of up to 1900mbps around Sydney.
I'm still working on that first G every night. Loving every minute of it.
Thanks for explaing 4G and 5G
Enjoy your videos, Thank you
I watch this video in 2022, and some companies claim that they already have 5G in some areas, but the speed doesn't reach the minimum requirement. Does that mean they're lying?
What does H and H+ mean. When I travel I always get this when the signal isn't good enough for LTE. Edit: Now I know, thanks guys.
So there's 3G. Which is the crappy 3G that he mentioned in the video. H is 3.5G and H+ is 3.75G. Hope that answers your question.
@@red_thedead thanks
H+ is HSPA which is 3.75G
@Cellphone Dave HSDPA is term related to transfer of data from base station to phone. Cause D means downlink
so which one is better just 4G or 4G LTE displayed on my phone?
5g = a weapon
4g = Good and perfect

Hi, I'm in Melbourne Australia. We get speeds in excess of 2000Mbps Down and 600Mbps up using the HTC 5G Hub. I believe that we have the fastest speeds in the world at this time. This has only just started happening over the last month. It is bloody wonderful being able to download two 8k Extreme Ultra HD movies at the same time with no glitching or lag.
😱 wow
My phone says I just have “LTE” what does that mean... it dosent say 46LTE it just says “LTE”

My samsung j3 6 doesn't show 4G just shows LTE

My s8 too
My iPhone 8 say LTE; Is that shortcut for 4G🤷♂️ I’m lost😂
It's a shortcut for 4GLTE yes. LTE is only a 4G term wasn't around before and won't be around after.
Thanks
Means ur phone is not 4G yet .
4G LTE Advanced only increases the speed by about 10-15 MBit in my city and every time my "4G" modem switches to LTE I get a ping spike. Not a great experience! I am using LTE as my home internet because it's way faster than cable. The downside is the consistency.
