It is a known fact that the 1800MHz band is the most popular 4G LTE band over the globe. In a recent survey, it is said that around 44 percent of global 4G networks run on the 1800MHz band. And, it has several advantages over the 2300MHz band.

Why 1800MHz Band is Better than 2300MHz

Consider this as a hypothetical question. What would you choose if you are getting same mobile features for Rs. 10,000 when compared to a flagship smartphone. This scenario is also the same.

The 1800MHz band requires 30 percent fewer towers than the 2300MHz band. For countries such as India, there is an underdeveloped device ecosystem, so it's always good to have an 1800MHz band network.
