Cellular operators offer us many USB modems with 4G LTE support. Also on sale there are universal models that work with any SIM-cards. Let's see which 4G modem for the Internet is better, and which one should be abandoned. Our review is based on user feedback.

Main selection criteria

The choice of a 4G modem is based on several criteria:

• Ready to work with SIM-cards of any mobile operators.
• Stable connection without breaks.
• High sensitivity.
• Compatible with all operating systems and devices.

Size, weight and color do not really matter.

In our review, we have included some of the most popular models that are in high demand among users. They can be locked or unlocked - it all depends on the place of purchase. Accordingly, locked 4G modems are sold in branded salons of operators; you cannot install a competitor's SIM card in them. Partner stores sell devices of any type (both locked and universal).

Huawei E3372 4G modem

Perhaps this is the best 4G modem according to users. Almost everyone uses it Russian operators- these are MTS, MegaFon, Tele2 and Beeline. A notable feature of this model is the presence of sockets for connecting external antennas - these can be single antennas and MIMO antennas. The device is equipped with the following firmware:

• STICK - connection to a computer requires the installation of drivers and control program, the connection is established manually (or automatically, but only when the corresponding checkbox is checked in the settings);
• HILINK - firmware from the category of "insert and work." 4G modem is defined as network device, so no drivers or control programs are needed. The device connects to the Internet immediately after connecting to the USB port.

The latest firmware is marked by users as the most stable, the modem parameters are controlled through the web interface. Regardless of the firmware, the 4G modem can be easily unlocked for use with SIM cards of any mobile operators.

Device Specifications:

• Data upload speed - up to 50 Mbps.
• Support for LTE, HSPA+, 3G and 2G.
• Card slot microSD memory.
• Compatible with many routers.
• Compatible with Windows, MacOS, Linux operating systems.

According to users, this is the best 4G modem - it provides reliable reception weak signal, establishes an extremely stable connection, does not break the connection even when overheated.

Users often complain that this 4G modem does not work well with USB extenders, but almost all USB modems behave this way - they do not have enough power. Use extension cords with thick cables or with external power.

Huawei E3276 USB modem

The best 4G modems, according to another part of the user audience, are Huawei E3276. This is a great choice for a laptop as it uses a swivel USB connector. But nothing prevents you from using it in conjunction with stationary PCs and routers. The modem was used for sale by such operators as MTS and MegaFon. When buying it in foreign online stores, do not forget to check the supported LTE bands- the device comes in as many as ten modifications with different ranges.

Characteristics of the 4G modem:

• Data reception speed - up to 150 Mbps.
• There are connectors for external antennas.
• There is a slot for microSD memory cards.
• Supported operating systems are Linux, Windows, MacOS.
• Firmware - STICK and HILINK (as in the previous model).

The model shows stable reception in difficult conditions and no disconnects. This is a reliable and fastest modem for working in 4G LTE networks. Its disadvantage is the swivel mechanism, which breaks easily.

USB modem ZTE MF823

This 4G modem uses the MegaFon operator. It provides data reception at speeds up to 100 Mbps, is highly sensitive. Made as a traditional "whistle" with a fixed USB-connector. There is a microSD card slot on board. The TZE MF823 4G modem is easy to unlock (when using the carrier model), it can be set to operate only in a certain range, and its firmware is easily restored if damaged.

Huawei E392 USB Modem

Our review ends with the best 4G modem called Huawei E392. He dialed maximum amount positive ratings among all participants in our review. The modem was sold in the networks of MTS and MegaFon. Main characteristics:

• Data reception speed - up to 100 Mbps.
• Data transfer rate - up to 50 Mbps.
• Support for external antennas.
• Compatible with operating windows, Linux and macOS.
• There is a slot for a microSD memory card.

Its disadvantages are that it is rarely found on sale (modern models have come to replace it), increased dimensions. Advantages - a stable connection for a long time of work, high sensitivity (users assure good reception when they are in a suburban area). If you need to choose a decent USB modem, buy Huawei E392.

At the end of the review, an interesting observation can be made. The best 4G modems as of 2017 are old models. "Beginners" cannot yet overcome the "old men" of the modem market.

Fourth generation (Generation, abbreviated as 4G) mobile communications theoretically capable of providing high speeds with an Internet connection, but realizing this potential is very difficult. Within the framework of this standard, several data transfer technologies are used at once, and the simplest of them, in relation to the topic of our review, is LTE. The maximum speed in this case is 150 Mbps per reception (or DL), but its achievement assumes ideal conditions: packets are exchanged in a frequency band of 20 MHz, a completely “free” cell and high level signal.

How to choose the best smartphone with 4g

When choosing a smartphone with 4g, the most unobvious problem for users is that operators are often forced to use narrower channels (up to 5 MHz) and this depends on the “working” range. Let's clarify that B20 (800 MHz), B3 (1800 MHz) and B7 (2600 MHz) are supported in Russian 4G networks. The B38 (2600 MHz) range is still less common, and the B31 (450 MHz) and B40 (2300 MHz) are quite exotic.

The second problem with high-speed communication is that all these frequencies are distributed in bands, and rather thoughtlessly, and each operator has different "kits" for organizing 4G in different regions, often incomplete. In addition, recall that there is a direct relationship between the wavelength and the range of signal propagation. In other words, base stations the B20 range will require significantly less than the B7. And which option in the "outback" will the provider choose?

For residents of large administrative centers and territories adjacent to them, everything is not so sad. Moreover, the main operators “work” on several bands at once, and here it is already appropriate to recall the second technology that can use them simultaneously (perform frequency aggregation). It is called LTE-A (Advanced), and in this case, a plus is sometimes added to 4G. Current version standard allows five bands to be combined, but in this case, everything is complicated.

Firstly, the telecom operator needs to have a suitable "set" of frequencies, and they are far from all compatible with each other. Secondly, the corresponding re-equipment of base stations is required. Thirdly, a smartphone as a user terminal must not only support LTE-A technology, as well as all the involved bands, but also be in the zone of reliable reception in relation to each of them.

As for operators, so far only MegaFon and MTS declare the aggregation of three frequency bands. And not even everywhere. Parallel use of two lanes is much more common and high speed internet already available in a number of regional/territorial centers. Actually, this is precisely the reason for the selection criteria for most smartphones with 4g for our rating: LTE and LTE-A 2CA (this is how devices capable of aggregating two carrier frequencies are designated - 2 Carrier Aggregation).

Necessary information give the categories given in the descriptions of smartphones. In our case, these are Cat.4 and Cat.6, which are optimal for Russia. Of course, reviews of expensive models even promise gigabit 4G speeds, and this is never a hoax. You just need to understand that in order to achieve them, the appropriate conditions are necessary. Let's say the correct operator and being within the Garden Ring. And that doesn't always work. By the way, the older categories imply the presence of complex antenna paths in smartphones. In the specifications, this fact can be referred to as MIMO with a couple of numbers in front. The latter indicate the number of antenna groups and the more of them, the maximum speed above.

Finally, another technology is called VoLTE and is designed to make voice calls through a specially created Internet channel. You correctly thought that it is still sadder here, but the light at the end of the tunnel is already visible. At least at the level of Moscow and the region, MegaFon has launched such a service, and from the beginning of 2018 it is planned to deploy it in the regions. There is information that MTS is also preparing to introduce VoLTE in 2018. The sad thing is that smartphone manufacturers must add to the firmware of each supported model necessary settings for all interested telecom operators. MegaFon turned out to be the most interested in us, and therefore the corresponding category of the review best smartphones with 4g is represented by devices compatible with the VoLTE version of this particular company.

Who does not dream of having a functional smartphone that supports the 4G/LTE standard? If there are, then most likely there will be very few of them. However, in the market digital devices wide functionality, as a rule, is offered by flagships, and for them, you will definitely have to pay a considerable amount. What about buyers who do not have that kind of money? Read this article, which will talk about some inexpensive gadgets.

The rating includes cheap smartphones with 4G, the price of which does not exceed 10,000 rubles. Surprised? Yes, there are such models. Of course, they are inferior in terms of performance and other characteristics to fancy flagships, but the difference in price fully pays for all the shortcomings.

Huawei Honor 5A

Most cheap smartphone 4G / LTE combined with decent performance was introduced by Huawei. The cost for it varies within 8000 rubles. Let's see if the model is worth that kind of money. The first thing you want to pay attention to is appearance. Stylish gadget - this is what users say about it in the reviews. And it is true. The case is made of glass and metal, which cannot but rejoice.

Unfortunately, the “OS” let us down a bit - the fifth “Android” is already obsolete. But uplifting volume random access memory, which equals 2 GB. The hardware system is based on MediaTek MT6735P. good screen and simply amazing cameras (main - 13 megapixels) complement the pleasant experience of interacting with the gadget. The battery, of course, is not the best (2200 mAh), but its resource is enough for one day of work.

Wileyfox Swift

Equally interesting is a cheap 4G/LTE smartphone made by Wileyfox. In addition to the fact that it supports work with new generation networks, it also has a decent "stuffing". For only 8-9 thousand rubles, the buyer will purchase a multifunctional smartphone that fully meets modern requirements. What do the reviews say? Many users focused on the good Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset. Its capabilities are complemented by two gigabytes of RAM.

Also, the owners paid attention to the worthy characteristics of the screen and cameras. Separately, I would like to dwell on the main module. Its resolution is 13 megapixels, which makes it possible to take great photos. Users have no comments on receiving and transmitting a signal. Everything works stably, without failures and interruptions. The battery (2500 mAh) in this gadget is a bit short by modern standards, but it will be able to provide autonomy for a period of 20-24 hours.

Philips S326

The cheapest smartphone with 4G is also available from a manufacturer such as Philips. Model S326 is sold at an average price of 7500 rubles. The manufacturer did his best by releasing this gadget. After testing, all users were satisfied. The device works great with networks. When connected to 4G, there was stable work, high speed.

What else can you dream of? But as it turned out, there is something. In their reviews, users drew attention to other features of the phone. We note right away that the S326 model cannot boast of a flagship “stuffing”. The device has one gigabyte of RAM and eight built-in memory, not the most powerful Spreadtrum SC9830 processor. Camera resolution also leaves much to be desired. But there were no complaints about the screen. Here everything is quite consistent with modern requirements. The owners have allocated another forte device - a capacious battery for 3 thousand mAh.

Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016)

The cheapest smartphone with 4G is also in the line of the Korean manufacturer Samsung. Its approximate cost was 7000 rubles. This is about Galaxy models J1 (2016). It is based on a pretty good proprietary Exynos 3475 processor. Compute modules (four in total) are overclocked to 1300 MHz. Complements the characteristics of the hardware platform RAM in the amount of one gigabyte. But the built-in storage is small - only 8 GB. The device is equipped with a 5ʺ AMOLED display. Resolution: 207 ppi (density), 800 × 400 px (quality).

The main camera has a good module. The pictures are of average quality and are quite consistent with the 8-megapixel resolution. The 2 MP front module can only be used for video communication. In order to save pictures, photos, music and videos, the manufacturer has implemented support for memory cards, with which you can expand the built-in storage up to 32 GB. From communication capabilities it is necessary to highlight, of course, LTE and 3G. The smartphone is also equipped with GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth modules. Not the most responsible for autonomy powerful battery at 2050 mAh. The phone is based on a rather old OS - the fifth version of Android.

Owners opinion:

• Only 4 GB of integrated memory is available, which is certainly not a virtue.
• Weak screen resolution and cameras.
• Expandable memory greatly increases the functionality of the gadget.
• Picks up a signal very well.
• Navigation modules work accurately and quickly.
• Not powerful enough accumulator battery, however, with a light load, it can provide up to 3 days of work.
• Outdated OS.

Sony Xperia E3

Another cheap smartphone with 4G from a well-known manufacturer. Xperia model E3 is equipped with a good Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (1200 MHz) chipset. The gadget has proven itself not only when working with networks, but also with "heavy" applications. Considering that the phone costs about 8,000 rubles, you will have to sacrifice the resolution of the cameras (the device has 5 megapixel and 0.3 megapixel modules), a bright original design, display characteristics (resolution 854 × 480 px) and the amount of internal memory (4 GB). But according to most users, this model deserves attention. The device copes with all tasks well, has the ability to work with networks fourth generation and is undeniably of high quality and reliability.

Acer Liquid E600

Taiwanese company Acer also introduced a cheap smartphone with 4G. The Liquid E600 model is based on the productive Snapdragon 400 platform. The processor clock speed is 1200 MHz, which is not bad for a budget employee. The body assembly impresses users with its high quality. And the idea that for only 7,000 rubles you can buy a stylish gadget from a famous manufacturer warms the soul.

The device boasts a beautiful 5-inch display, although according to users, the poor quality (480 × 854 px) let us down a bit. Responsible for autonomy is a 2500 mAh battery. In standby mode, the phone will work for about 250 hours. As for the cameras, the resolution of the front is critically small (0.3 MP), but the main one allows you to take quite competitive pictures using an 8 MP module.

Alcatel One Touch Pixi 4 5045D

This phone can rightfully bear the title of "the cheapest Android smartphone with 4G", unless, of course, put it in the same rating with Chinese "dummy". Its cost varies within 5 thousand rubles. What does a user get for such money besides LTE? 4 core processor running at 1000 MHz. Performance characteristics are complemented by 1 GB of RAM. Users drew attention to the small amount of native memory and low screen resolution, however, if there is a need to purchase a smartphone with LTE support, and quite inexpensively, then you will have to refuse the heaped "fillings".

The owners of this phone were pleased with the cameras (5 and 8 megapixels). Pictures are taken good quality, especially if you do them outside during the daytime. The device works with two cards of mobile operators, but you can activate 4G only on one. The owners are not very satisfied with the characteristics of the battery, which is confirmed by numerous reviews. The device uses a 2000 mAh battery, which will have to be charged every day. But the sixth version of "Android" appealed to many users. It has a simple and beautiful interface. Works smoothly without freezes and other failures.

Highscreen Easy L

A good cheap smartphone with 4G was released by Highscreen. Chinese is responsible for its performance. Mediatek processor MT6737. It is built on four modules, each of which is capable of issuing maximum frequency at 1250 MHz. A good level of performance is provided by the “RAM” of one gigabyte. This, of course, does not guarantee super-powerful performance, but it will be quite enough to work with light applications. The graphics are provided by the Mali-T720 MP2 accelerator.

In the reviews, users pay attention to the small amount of native memory (4 GB), but the manufacturer has provided the ability to increase it to 32 GB. Use additional storage to install applications will not work, but you can save various multimedia files on it, which is also pretty good.

The indisputable advantage of this model, of course, is the support for new generation networks. Also, the owners leave laudatory reviews for the screen. It is capable of transmitting HD quality, which is very pleasing, especially considering the low cost (within 7500 rubles). On this, the advantages of the device have not yet ended. Users refer to them as a capacious 3600 mAh battery. And all this "miracle" is running "Android 6".

Micromax Q465

Now it's time to consider a cheap smartphone with 4G and a good battery. The Micromax Q465 model can claim such a title. For 8-8.5 thousand rubles, the user will purchase an excellent multifunctional device with decent characteristics. And this is not an advertisement. Just look at what the owners write in the reviews. A powerful quad-core platform, as much as 2 GB (!) of RAM, integrated 16 GB, although users say that only 10 is available, but this is already impressive, an HD-quality screen, decent camera resolution and, most importantly, the battery capacity is almost 4000 mAh (3900). Isn't it worth that kind of money?

However, not everything is so rosy. Although the device is two-card, there is only one radio module, so the SIM cards will work alternately. A 64-bit system, although it allows you to install all the most modern applications, however, the hardware platform will not be able to pull the most resource-intensive.

DOOGEE X5 Max Pro

Model X5 Max Pro is a cheap 4G smartphone from China. At points of sale, they ask for it from 5900 rubles. For this money, the owners will enjoy high-speed Internet (4G), a high-quality screen that transmits an image in a resolution of 1280 × 720 px. A lot of rave reviews were caused by the hardware platform, which is based on MediaTek MT6737.

Also in the gadget, the manufacturer installed two gigabytes of “RAM”. The software download storage has a size of 16 GB. It can be expanded with a memory card. Did not disappoint in this model and the battery. Its resource (4000 mAh) lasts up to two days with an average load. With networks, the smartphone works fine. The signal is stable, there are no comments to the navigation modules. In the comments, the owners assure that the capabilities of the gadget 100% justify the cost.

ZTE Blade L4 A460

Chinese brainchild Blade L4 A460 is the cheapest smartphone with 4G. Prices for it do not exceed $112. Note that in the reviews, many owners say that you can buy this phone even for $90. Potential buyers should immediately pay attention to the fact that this brand is not of high quality, therefore the cost of products is low. Unfortunately, there are many on the web. negative feedback about ZTE gadgets. In them, users talk about problems such as freezes, crashes, spontaneous shutdown, etc. If this does not scare you, then let's look at the capabilities of this model.

First of all, let's pay attention to the fact that the device operates on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 MSM8909-4 chipset. It is under the control of the fifth version of Android. From the memory offered 1 GB (RAM) and 8 GB (built-in). Autonomy is not very long, as the smartphone uses a 2200 mAh battery. Cameras (8 and 5 megapixels) can be attributed to the advantages. The pictures come out pretty good. But the display is definitely weak - at five inches it has a resolution of only 854 × 480 px and a TFT matrix.

Editor's Choice

4th generation networks have entered life so tightly ordinary user that no one pays attention to 3G anymore. People want faster internet. And that's okay. But for this you need.

By 2018, an abundance of modem models from various manufacturers led to the fact that potential buyers do not know which one to choose.

You need to focus solely on your needs.

It makes no sense to acquire a powerful and multifunction device just because it's cool. You need to be practical and clearly understand what you need at the moment. That's the only way to pick good device.

Any manufacturer will have a model that meets all requirements. You just need to find her. A list of the best devices from famous companies can help with this. They are reliable, powerful and elegant.

How to choose?

To choose the best 4G modem, you need to understand what options are needed. It would also be nice to compare your favorite model with devices from other manufacturers.

Special attention should be paid to the following points:

Such information is very useful, since not all manufacturers write the truth in the declared characteristics.

Another: Don't splurge on a cool device if you need exceptionally stable internet access.

All additional functions only increase the cost of the gadget. What's the point of rich functionality if you don't use it?

Advice. It is better to buy gadgets of such a plan in a real (and not a virtual store). So you can immediately check the stability of the connection, look at the real speed and consider the device in detail. In addition, you can understand how high-quality the material of the case is only by touch.

The most popular models from the best manufacturers

At the moment there are several modems that may be of interest to the user.

They have different functionality and unique design. But the most important thing is that they work great.

All of the above devices are in the greatest demand among buyers.

They managed to somehow earn recognition among users.

Therefore, it is worth considering these modems in more detail and choosing the best of the best.

Advice. Don't pay too much attention to specifications ah this or that gadget. Actual figures may differ significantly from those announced by the manufacturer. All companies love to brag about their products. And only tests can demonstrate the real state of affairs.

Huawei E8372 - advanced modem is not for everyone

The Chinese company is widely known not only for its high-quality smartphones. Almost all network equipment from domestic mobile operators is also the brainchild of Huawei.

Even branded modems (from operators) are mostly Chinese. But the originals are much better.

The key feature of this modem is "omnivorous". It works with SIM cards of any operator. What can not be said about similar devices from MTS, Beeline or some other operator.

E8372- an excellent solution for home, office, cottage and other places. In any conditions, it is able to issue a stable and fast connection. BUT additional options make it unique in its kind.

The main characteristics of the modem:

This is a great modem for those who love to travel. It can be powered from almost any device and connect an unlimited number of gadgets to it.

Minus only one: no standard memory card support.

Also, this device can only work with the operating Windows system. True, the OS version does not matter.

Important! Do not forget that the coverage range of the built-in WiFi adapter in this modem only 100 meters. So you won't be able to get too far. But there is a guarantee that no one will connect to your access point: WPA2 protection is used.

ReviewHuaweiE8372:

Huawei E3372. Confident "medium"

Another product from the Chinese. It is worth noting that Huawei produces many high-quality 4G modems, and its superiority in this area is noticeable.

The most popular devices of this kind are from this manufacturer.

Huawei E332 is an excellent modem for those who value stability and quality. This is the most reliable device of the manufacturer (judging by the reviews of the owners).

In addition, it has a compact size, which allows you to use it almost anywhere.

If the previous device could work from any USB power source, then this device cannot. It requires a computer, laptop or tablet to fully function. USB port. But most users already use computers to access the Internet.

Device Specifications:

The device is perfect for those who only need a modem. No extra options. The device perfectly copes with various interferences (like walls and ceilings) and provides a stable connection.

Important! Do not change the firmware on this modem (especially on your own). If this is done, then the drivers will no longer be automatically installed. You will have to look for them on the official website and install them manually. And after the firmware, the modem will not work faster. It is a myth.

ReviewHuaweiE3372:

ZTE MF823D. Cheap and cheerful

Probably the cheapest 4G modem in this review. ZTE is also from China, but a little lower in status than Huawei.

Although domestic mobile operators very actively use network equipment from this manufacturer.

Some of the operators even sell under their own brand.

But their modems are no match for the original ones. Although they are considered devices of the budget segment.

Don't underestimate the MF823D. This gadget is able to provide a reliable and relatively fast connection. And this is the main task of all modems. All other features are optional. There is no particular need for them.

Characteristics:

• support for communication standards: 4G, 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM;
• maximum speed (real): download - up to 40 Mbps, upload - up to 100 Mbps (depending on the operator);
• Requires a USB port to work
• OS support Windows families and macOS;
• SIM card slot;
• automatic installation of drivers (in any OS).

ZTE MF823D- the only modem of all those listed that is able to work in MacOS from Apple without dancing with a tambourine.

Such cross-platform only plays into the hands of the device. Usually budget devices are not so advanced.

Important! If you decide to purchase this particular 4G modem for yourself, then keep in mind that it has a rather flimsy case. The device is made of ordinary (and not very high-quality plastic) and assembled anyhow. But it has rich functionality (for budget device) and is cheap (relatively).

Huawei E392. Another middle class

And again Huawei. The success of this company in the class of communication devices is truly phenomenal.

This modem is interesting because it does not have any "bells and whistles", but at the same time it is able to provide high-speed and stable communication.

It also has a custom design.. But the main uniqueness is the color.

Usually modems are white, but this one is black. It is much more practical (dirt is not so visible) and more interesting. At least some new solution.

It is worth noting that Huawei almost never has it (in modem lines).

Almost all the creations of the Chinese belong to the middle class. At the same time, their cost is quite democratic.

Main characteristics:

• network support: 4G, 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM;
• maximum speed (real): downloads - up to 42 Mbps, downloads - up to 6 Mbps;
• connector for connecting an external antenna;
• family OS support Windows any versions;
• slot for Micro SD memory cards up to 32 GB;
• place for SIM cards;
• only works when connected to a PC or laptop.

An excellent inexpensive modem for those who use only a computer to access the Internet.

It has a classic design, high quality materials and small body size. The latter is relevant for owners.

Important! When purchasing this modem, you must take into account that the built-in antenna does not work very well. Thick walls for her - an insurmountable obstacle. Therefore, you should immediately attend to the purchase of an external antenna.

ReviewHuaweiE392:

Yota 4G Lite LU156. branded device

This device is from the Russian mobile operator Yota. As a basis, a device from Huawei was used.

The modem turned out to be quite good, but very poor in terms of functionality. Nevertheless, it is very popular in domestic open spaces.

It is worth immediately noting the main drawback of the gadget. It can only be used in conjunction with . This can be frustrating for those who are used to using a 4G modem while traveling (especially abroad).

Characteristics:

• supported communication standards: 4G, 3G, GPRS, EDGE, GSM;
• maximum speed (real): download - up to 20 Mbps, upload - 5 Mbps;
• slot for micro SD memory cards up to 16 GB;
• work with OS Microsoft Windows any version;
• automatic installation of drivers;
• slot for SIM cards (specific operator);
• only works when connected to a computer.

Yota 4G Lite LU156 is perfect for those who use the Internet exclusively and only within the country.

Of the features, the black color of the case can be noted. This phenomenon is rare for modems.

Important! If your building has thick walls, then this copy will not suit you. He has a very weak internal antenna. And there is no external connector. We'll have to reinvent the wheel. Do you need it? It is better to choose a device from another manufacturer.

Huawei E3272. And again the Chinese

This is just the modem that many cellular operators often take as a basis.

Known gadgets from "MTS" and "Beeline", built on the basis of this device. That's just the operators intentionally cut technical specifications. And the original is devoid of it.

The device has a classic design, made in white. However, its dimensions are quite tiny (compared to other 4G devices). Therefore, it is very popular with many users.

For full operation of the modem, you need a computer with an operating Microsoft system Windows versions XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. It cannot work from chargers and other devices.

Main technical characteristics:

• supported communication standards: 4G, 3G, EDGE, GPRS, GSM;
• maximum speed (real): downloads - up to 50 Mbps, downloads - up to 100 Mbps (depending on the operator);
• slot for micro SD memory cards up to 32 GB;
• connector for connecting an external antenna;
• automatic installation of drivers;
• slot for sim cards.

E3272 is an excellent mid-range device that can provide high-speed and stable Internet access.

A great advantage is the presence of a connector for an additional antenna.

This allows you to use the gadget where other modems will have communication problems.

Important! Never try to reflash this modem. AT original firmware contains all the data necessary for the normal operation of the device. If you change the firmware (especially with your own hands), then the device may not work at all. Some users, in pursuit of greater speed, made this mistake and were left without the Internet at all. This modem is not designed to change the firmware.

conclusions

Many manufacturers offer modems that support 4G networks.

Among them are real masterpieces: with rich functionality high speed connections, unsurpassed stability and a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter.

However, the user himself chooses what he likes. And the best 4G modem is the one that suits you.

Specifications are, of course, an important aspect, but it's up to you to decide whether you need all these options or not.

If you look at the dry numbers, then you can say with accuracy that the best modems among all of the above are devices from Huawei. They are easy to use, have many options, are reliable and stable.

For many, price is the deciding factor. However, a good device cannot cost a penny. It is better to pay a little more for quality than to suffer with an unstable connection later and throw even more money for repairs.

At first glance, an eternity has passed since the release of the LG G2 review. At that time, gadgets were not so big and expensive, and performance grew with each subsequent generation so that it was visible to the naked eye.

Later we got acquainted with its successor - LG G3, the price tag of which has already come close to the flagships of other leading manufacturers. It offered several unique features in its segment, for example, a QHD screen and a laser autofocus camera - this is how LG paved the way from the Varangians to the Greeks to the premium segment. However, in terms of sales, the G3 was still inferior even to those released twice as often. Sony flagships. And the circulation of the main Korean competitor - Samsung - LG managers probably cannot watch without tears for a long time.

But now a year has passed, it's time to follow the rest of the players to release new flagship. It is not surprising that the manufacturer pins special hopes on him. The novelty received the expected name - G4. Without imagination, but users will not be confused. At least until stripped-down junior models come out: with suffixes S, mini, Stylus and others. But let's not guess, perhaps the manufacturer will pleasantly surprise us.

And now we will figure out how the full-fledged LG G4 is ready to please a potential user, which, thanks to Premium Brands, can already be purchased in Moscow.

Competition in the top segment has been heating up for more than a year, and it is becoming more and more difficult to stay in the fight. In order to attract buyers, Samsung now offers glass-and-metal smartphones with rounded displays, HTC continues to conjure with an all-aluminum body, as well as branded stereo speakers and Sense shell, and Sony is still betting on strict design and water resistance.

So what does the LG G4 have to offer? It may seem that the company repeats the experience of its main competitor - Samsung. Judge for yourself: we have a smartphone with a collapsible body and a leather back cover. Doesn't it remind you of anything? Unless it's real leather. In addition, a variety of branded covers are promised, allowing you to diversify the design of the device and stand out from the crowd.

However, there have never been any questions about the latter - LG flagships perfectly emphasize the uniqueness of their owners - simply because you still have to try to meet another one like it. Well, enough irony. At least at first glance, the smartphone turned out to be more than pretty. Judge for yourself.

Specifications LG G4

For convenience, let's immediately compare the performance characteristics of the LG G4 with the previous model.

Judging by the "naked" characteristics, then we have just a planned cosmetic update. Yes, the fears of some users were justified, and LG G4 received "only" the 808th chip instead of 810, like HTC One M9. I must say that compared to the Snapdragon 801, performance should not increase very significantly.

Other characteristics look even paler: the battery capacity has not increased, the amount of RAM has not taken a new bar, and the built-in drive has not broken capacity records for a long time. But in terms of dimensions, the novelty has become less attractive - the width of the case has increased from 74.5 mm to 76 mm, and the weight - from 149 to 155 g. Even the thickness has grown to 10 mm, which is completely indecent in our time.

Apparently, the most noticeable improvements are waiting for us in the camera. But they, like the quality of the same case with the same back cover, must be very significant in order to justify the release of a new model.

Packaging and equipment LG G4

New LG comes in a modest cardboard box.

The lid is slightly cut off. Underneath is red cardboard.

Since we have Korean equipment in front of us, we will not see detailed technical specifications on the back. Instead, only key features models.

Olleh - local mobile operator and a digital content provider like our Yandex with their Yandex.Store.

The sales sticker reminds you that this is the version for the "home" market, which is called LG-F500K. On the Russian market, presumably, the model H815 should come out.

For themselves, loved ones, Koreans are trying to assemble a richer package. This was the case with the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime, which was never officially delivered to us. What do we see?

• Documentation;
• Charger;
• microUSB cable;
• Additional battery;
• Branded stereo headset LG Quad Beat 3;
• Autonomous Charger for battery;
• Battery case (seriously).

First of all, it is worth clarifying the situation. The person who provided the device for review asked very much not to remove the factory films and not damage the packaging, so I can’t tell you more about some accessories (they have a seal). Therefore, I ask you to understand and forgive in advance.

The charger is quite typical for the manufacturer. Its body is compact and very convenient, as it does not cover a large area around it.

In this case, the output current is 1.8 A.

The stereo headset is packed in an individual box. Looks very impressive. It comes with silicone tips in two different sizes.

In terms of sound quality, it is in the segment of "about 1,500 rubles" at current prices. For undemanding users, this is enough even for listening to music, not to mention conversations.
