4G bands an android phone supports

  • Download and install MTK engineering Tool
  • Upon launching the app, tap on MTK settings > BandMode > Select SIM.
  • There, you’d see all the available GSM bands, UMTS bands as well as the LTE (4G) bands.

By default, you’d see some ticked bands outlined in White colors while others are in grey. Now, those are the bands your phone supports.
