This Thursday, Verizon will launch another LG phone, though this one should only be considered as a budget-friendly option. We are talking about the oft-leaked LG G Vista, a massive 5.7-inch phone that is isn’t so massive when it comes to specs. That’s not to say that this won’t be a fully capable phone, it just doesn’t rank up there with the recently released LG G3, a phone we called the best available in our review.

According to sources, the LG G Vista will make its debut this Thursday, July 31 at an off-contract price of $499 or $99 with new 2-year agreement. On a spec front, we are looking at a 5.7-inch HD display (1280×720, 258ppi), 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor, 3,200mAh battery (removable), 8MP rear camera with laser auto focus, 8GB internal storage, micro SD card support, 1.5GB RAM, and Android 4.4.

As you can see from the images, it is quite large, yet still manages to look a lot like the G3 with its rear button arrangement and semi-minimal bezel. It could be a decent alternative. Maybe.

Interested?
