Lately, Google and LG have been rumored to plan the release of a red flavor of the Nexus 5 smartphone, and a press photo with the device is now available for your viewing pleasure.

The image has leaked online courtesy of @evleaks, a tipster with a good previous record, suggesting that the new color version of the device is indeed real.

The one thing that remains to be seen is when exactly the new Red iteration of the device will be launched, and whether it will be accompanied by other color variants as well. Previously, reports suggested that six such models would be planned for launch soon.

Rumor has it that Google would be set to make the new Nexus 5 version official as soon as February 4, yet an official confirmation on this hasn’t emerged as of now.
