One of the handsets that mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has been long rumored to plan on bringing to the market is the LG G Vista, which has emerged in a variety of leaked press photos before, and which can be seen in a new one today.

However, unlike previous leaks on this smartphone, the new one also comes with info on the device’s hardware specifications attached to it.

Said details are available courtesy of the infamous tipster evleaks, and reveal the fact that LG G Vista will be, in fact, only a mid-range phone when released on Verizon’s network.

Today, the wireless carrier has made the LG G3 flagship available for pre-order for its customers, while set to put it on shelves starting July 17.

However, LG G3 is not the only LG device that will be added to Big Red’s lineup before the end of this year, as LG G Vista will accompany it soon, just as previously rumored.

No specific info on when that might happen has been provided as of now, but considering the large number of leaks that have emerged on the matter, we can assume that a formal announcement will be made sooner rather than later.

When launched, the LG G Vista will sport a 5.7-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a 720p resolution, the aforementioned leaked info claims.

Moreover, the handset is said to be powered by a Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 processor, which is accompanied by 1.5GB of DDR2 RAM, supposedly capable of delivering pretty decent performance capabilities to it.

The phone will also arrive on the market with 8GB of internal memory, as well as with a 3200mAh battery, which will certainly be capable of offering long usage times. Although not mentioned, a microSD memory card slot might also be included in the package.

LG G Vista is also said to arrive on the market with an 8-megapixel camera on the back, which should sport full HD video recording capabilities. Moreover, the phone will sport a 1.3MP front camera for making video calls while on the go.

Apparently, LG will load the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system on this device right from the start. Moreover, the phone is said to be 9.1mm thick and to weigh 168 grams.

With no official confirmation on any of these available as of now, we’ll take the info with a grain of salt, though it might not be too long before all is formally announced, so stay tuned for additional details on the matter.
