LG Optimus LTE2 leaked a few months ago, but everyone thought the device will only be available in South Korea. However, it looks like LG plans to unleash the dual-core Android smartphone in the United States as well.

An unannounced LG VS930 has just been spotted by the folks over at XDA Developers, and the smartphone features the same specs sheet as the Optimus LTE2.

We expect the VS930 will be released through Verizon Wireless as LG Optimus LTE II or Spectrum 2, though the information should be confirmed by the carrier in the next few days.

We don’t have any information on the smartphone’s pricing options, but rumor has it that the Optimus LTE II will be announced on July 13. However, there’s no telling if the phone will also go on sale this weekend.

LG VS930 aka Optimus LTE II (Spectrum 2) is said to be powered by Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system integrated with the company’s Optimus 3.0 user interface.

One of the main differences between the South Korean version of the Optimus LTE II and Verizon’s variant is the amount of memory. While the former comes with 2GB of RAM, the latter only packs 1GB of RAM.

The smartphone boasts an incredible 4.7-inch True HD IPS capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution and 16 million colors.

On the inside, the LG VS930 is equipped with a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor and 16GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card.

The phone comes with GSM, UMTS, CDMA and LTE support, and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology that goes along with some programmable tags.

Last but not least, the VS930 smartphone sports an enhanced 8-megapixel rear photo snapper, and possibly a secondary front-facing camera for video calls.
