Bands

All 4G/LTE and 5G frequency bands: number, frequency, duplex and usage. Click a band to see the compatible phones.

A frequency band is a range of radio waves reserved for a mobile network to exchange data between the antenna and your phone. Each band carries a number (B20, n78…) tied to a precise frequency and a duplex mode.

Low bands (700–900 MHz) pass through walls better and reach farther: better coverage in rural areas and inside buildings. High bands, such as n78 at 3.5 GHz, deliver far higher speeds but over shorter distances, hence their use in cities and dense areas.
