LTE :
LTE(Long Term Evolution) is high-speed wireless communication for phones as well as data terminals. It is designed mainly for data technology only. It can or can not support simultaneous data services and voice calls. LTE is faster than Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G. In this together use of data service and voice reduces voice quality. It allows a slow call connection speed.

VoLTE :
VoLTE(Voice Over Long Term Evolution) is designed for carrying both data services and voice. This simultaneous use of data service and voice does not affect voice quality. It allows higher call connection speed. In VoLTE, internet data is not required to make free calls, user can keep their internet on.
