AT&T Announces 5.7-Inch LG G Vista 2 Jumbo Phone with Digital Stylus
AT&T has just announced a new and improved LG G Vista 2 with a 5.7-inch display and a digital stylus.
In an accidentally released YouTube video, which was immediately removed from its account and marked private, AT&T outed the successor to LG's G Vista from the previous year, with its 5.7-inch display accompanied by improved specs, which include an octa-core processor and an 1080p touchscreen.
The inadvertent announcement comes just a day after AT&T unveiled its soon-to-be-released Kyocera DuraForce XD.

The first LG G Vista first made its debut in Q4 2014 and while it offered a bigger display, it was considered under-specc'd, despite giving users a 720p large-screen smartphone experience with a less expensive price tag.
The new jumbo LG G Vista 2, will be carrying a 1080p display this time around, which is speculated to be touting a Snapdragon 615 processor instead of the previous quad-core Snapdragon 400, and will be supported by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable internal memory.
The LG G Vista 2 will come with a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing snapper, and is reportedly running Android Lollipop out of the box.
The handset will also come with a digital stylus to navigate its considerable touchscreen real estate, and will ship with LG's signature apps, including Quick Memo, QSlide, Knock Code, and Knock on, already installed.
While AT&T declined to mention the phone's price point when it is eventually made available in the market, it did point out the price tag will be considered "revolutionary." Whether it meant for the term to mean inexpensive or exorbitant is still up to interpretation.
The previous LG G Vista was carried by both AT&T and Verizon, however, there has been no word on whether the same arrangement will follow with the LG G Vista 2.
No information has yet been released on when the LG G Vista 2 will be officially released to the public.
