Why is 4G showing up even though mobile data is turned off?

Yesterday (Friday 2nd December 2016) my LG G5 updated from Android 6.0.1 to Android 7.0, at first I didn't notice anything because my mobile data speed is 50mbps where as my wifi is less than 10mbps so I downloaded Android N update using 4G. However when I went to turn off the mobile data and turn on wifi I noticed I had two 4G symbols showing right next to each other, one says 4G+ with an up and down arrow and then next to it I have 4G with the ascending bars. Now when I turn wifi on and mobile data off only the 4G+ symbol disappears but the 4G with the 4 ascending bars stays around. It's only a very minor issue but it's really annoying seeing two of the same symbols especially when I'm very minimalistic when it comes to how my phone looks. Some info is listed below in case you need it.

Build Number: NRD90U
