    Does Blu G6 support 4G network? My service provider says it doesn’t support 4G

  2. Femi Oduwaiye says:

    My service provider, MTN says BLU G6 does not support 4G network. Is this true?

    • No, it is not true. Blu G6 has UniSoc SC9863A CPU, and it has 4G LTE network built in. But the problem is MTN 4G is band 7 and 20…Now, there are two versions of Blu G6; G0210UU and G0210LL. G0210UU does not have both band 7 and 20. Only G0210LL has band 7, but no 20. So if you have G0210UU, you can’t use MTN 4G network, but that does not mean the phone does not support 4G network.
