[AC Question]

I want to buy an LG G4. The carrier is verizon & I live in India. I have some queries. plz help...

I just saw an LG G4 (VS986) on ebay. I live in India. The carrier is verizon, the VS986 is an US model. It is written that hotspot won't work. Also there is mentioned that verizon logo will come up during booting. My queries are:
1) Why hotspot won't work? Will I be unable to access WiFi also?
2) Why will verizon logo come up during booting? Is it common or the phone is rooted?
3) Will I also face problems regarding upgrading the phone to marshmallow?
That's all... I know these are too many questions but please help....

1. Verizon is a Carrier in the usa. It has specific requirements which might not be compatible with India
2. Verizon Androids have a Verizon boot up screen in addition to Verizon specific software and alterations. It does not indicate root.

3. Updates could be an issue... Though I think that you can use the Verizon update utility to update it . with a computer
