What is the difference between 3g and 4g phones?

Do 4G phones work in 3G service areas? I live where there is no 4G service but there is 3G. Will a 4G phone work?What is the difference between 3g and 4g phones?
Truth be told there really isn't any such thing as 4G yet. Different providers advertise it but the ITU (international telecommunications union) is the governing body that defines such things and 4G is defined as speed of 100-300mbps. So far even Verizon (the fastest) only advertises 50mbps and only actually delivers about 12mbps on a good day. I'm not saying phones advertised as 4G aren't faster than 3G phones, just that they're not really 4G yet.



That being said, yes a 4G phone will work anywhere that a 3G phone will. The signal is the same.
The 4G phone is amazingly faster than the3G.



If you and a friend play a game against each other over your phones, and if you are 3g and he is 4g he's going to be moving and reacting so fast compared to you that he will beat you every time.What is the difference between 3g and 4g phones?
yes 4g phones will work in a 3g area.



4g gives you much faster internet then 3g. so it will be wise to get a 4g phone. so when they expand 4g in your area. you will have a device to access those speeds



If you have anymore questions, Post it on my wall :)
