As for LTE versus 4G showing up on your phone, that is simply down to how the phone company programs their network. At most Euro operators they send out 4G and most American operators send out LTE. Maybe TMO or some TMO networks send out 4G. It is a German company after all.
LTE and 4G are just two ways of saying the same thing and there is no difference in the meaning.
I have an AT&T phone. It will display 4G or LTE at different times. 4G for AT&T indicates HSPA+, which is fundamentally different from LTE. So it is not the same thing. This despite the fact that 4G is a completely meaningless term now that it's been so thoroughly abused by marketers.
