On the last day of July, Verizon and LG officially launched the G Vista, a device with a big display but mid-range specifications sprinkled throughout the rest of it. AT&T wanted in on the action, so they’ve just announced they will be launching the LG-branded smartphone soon.

Officially announced by the Big Blue carrier via their newsroom, the LG G Vista will be landing on AT&T’s network beginning August 22. On that particular date you will be able to buy the device either from a physical retail location, or through AT&T’s online store.
