3G preferred
— The connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
3G is used.
±
4G preferred
— The connection can be established to either 3G or 4G; if both are available,
4G is used. This setting is recommended if your service provider has no data limit for 4G,
but does for 3G, or you want to take advantage of the faster data transfer speeds of 4G.
±
3G only

you can save power by selecting
3G Only
.)
±
