It looks like the LG G3, it might even smell like the LG G3. Yet, the phone displayed in this Verizon ad for a rubberized shell/holster combo, is named the LG G Vista. The tweet containing the ad came from His Royal Leaker, evleaks. A few days ago, another tweet from evleaks gave the LG G Vista a model number of LG-VS880 for Verizon. Back in March, one of our tipsters told us that this model number was for an LG G Pro 2 Lite model for Verizon.
So what we are looking at in this ad might be a lite version of the LG G Pro 2. Verizon will be offering a rubberized case for the device, which we expect will come to market after July 17th, which is when the LG G3 is expected to launch on Verizon. The latter is expected to be available for pre-orders from Big Red on July 10th, with a launch exactly one week later.
The LG G Pro 2 Lite should carry some decent specs considering that the full size version of the phablet offers a 5.9 inch screen with 1080 x 1920 resolution, powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU. 3GB of RAM is inside with 32GB of native storage, and a 3200mAh battery keeps the lights on. For those looking for a lower priced smartphone that still offers top notch specs, Verizon might soon have what you want if indeed the LG G Vista is the LG G Pro 2 Lite.
