Red Google Nexus 5 leaks ahead of upcoming release

Images of a red Google Nexus 5 have leaked online ahead of the vibrantly hued handset’s expected release in the coming weeks.

Seemingly set to build on the standard black and white Google Nexus 5 handsets already available, the new red hued option has appeared in Vietnam just days after it was suggested the flagship phone would be made available in a new range of colours.

According to the latest leaks, the red Google Nexus 5 will be officially launched in late February or early March, with the device to land alongside a yellow toned offering.

Although Google has yet to officially comment on any upcoming release of colourful Google Nexus 5 handsets, reports earlier this week suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S rival will be made available in a total of eight colours.

As well as the aforementioned hues, the Google Nexus 5 will also reportedly be launched in orange, green, blue and purple shades.

Apart the change in colour, the new Google Nexus 5 handsets are not expected to differ in any way from the original models.

Boasting a 5-inch, 1080p Full HD display alongside Google’s latest Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, the Google Nexus 5 sports a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM and the option of 16GB or 32GB of internal storage.
