There are tons of conflicting reports about what, exactly, the LG G Vista will be called on release. According to GSM Arena, the LG G Vista will be released as the LG G Pro 2 Lite. However, not all sources agree.
Digital Trends has referred to the G Vista as a a “G3 lookalike,” while Gotta Be Mobile refers to the LG G Vista as the “LG G3 Lite.”

According to GSM Arena, the LG G Vista is expected to drop sometime in July. It is likely that it will be debut around the same time the LG G3 goes on sale. Gotta Be Mobile says that the G3 will be hitting the US on July 16.
3. LG G Vista Coming to Verizon
Maybe the reason why the #LGG3 isn't coming to Telus is because they are getting a variant of the bigger LG G Vista (http://t.co/YXwiZENn6v)

While it’s not yet clear which carriers will offer the LG G Vista, at least one US carrier will stock the phone. Both Android Central and Phone Arena have reported Verizon will get this LG phone.
4. The LG G Vista May Not Get Released
Holding out for the LG G3 instead? Check out the video above to learn more about the G3’s features.
While some sources are confident that the LG G Vista will get a US release, a few blogs caution that the G Vista might never launch. Pocketnow writes:
“It’s entirely possible that this phone will never see the light, but given the track record of @evleaks [who shared leaked images of the G Vista online], it’s looking to be fairly likely.”
5. G Vista Specs Up in the Air
Looking for some insight on past LG smartphones? Listen to this report about the critically-acclaimed G2 above.
PhoneDog has some thoughts about the possible specs of the G Vista, which are still something of a mystery:
“The rumor mill suggests that the LG G Vista could be the Verizon version of a device known as the LG G Pro 2 Lite. As that name suggests, the G Pro 2 Lite would likely be a toned down version of the G Pro 2, which includes a 5.9-inch 1080p display, 3GB of RAM and a 2.26GHz quad-core processor.”
Chances are, the coming weeks will do a lot to clear up any lingering questions about this cool new phone.
