Unknown Verizon LG device surfaces online with model number VS986

An announcement for the LG G4 is right around the corner, so it makes sense that models of the device will start showing up in databases online. Not too long ago we saw an LG device with a 3k display and the model number LG VS999 that we haven’t seen an equivalent for on other carriers. Verizon’s G3 model was the VS985, so it lined up. Today, though, another device with a different model has popped up that muddies things up a bit.

A new device with the model VS986 has appeared online, which is extremely close to the model of the G3. The G2′s model was the VS980, so this new model seems to fall closer in line with what LG and Verizon typically go with, but anything’s possible.

Since the VS999 had a 3k screen as opposed to the rumored 2k screen on the AT&T variant, it makes sense that this new VS986 would be the Verizon G4, but there are plenty of possibilities. The VS986 could be an incrementally upgraded G3, which Verizon has done in the past, and they could end up getting an uber high-resolution G4. The VS986 could be the G4, and the VS999 could be a bigger, better LG phone with a 3k screen that’s either exclusive to Verizon or something that we haven’t seen for other carriers yet. Or, the simplest answer, the VS999 could be completely fake and the VS986 is all we should be worrying about.

Anyone want to take a guess at what’s what with these model numbers before LG makes things official?
