It's a good week for Nexus 5 leaks - first the new Google and LG flagship made a brief surprise appearance in the Google Play store, and now some alleged box shots have appeared showing the phone in a never before seen white and black color scheme.

The Korean website underkg.com, which carries the amusing tag line "Everything under 1kg. Because heavy stuff sucks," posted the photos online, though it since removed them.

The images appear to show various angles of the Nexus 5's retail packaging, and the phone on the box looks like it has a white back with black on the front and sides.

The Nexus 5's predecessor came in a lighter shade as well, though the white Nexus 4 was unveiled and released after the black one was already on the market.

Nexus 5 specs and battery

However, the photos that appeared today have clearly been doctored and should be viewed with skepticism for the time being.

The Nexus 5 has yet to be officially unveiled by Google or LG, but we're currently expecting a Nexus 5 launch just before Halloween at the end of the month.

The latest leak reportedly showed the Nexus 5 running Android 4.4, revealing some new features coming in Google's next OS update.

Another rumor earlier this month claimed that the Nexus 5 will come with two battery options, depending on the size: a 2,300mAh battery for the 16GB Nexus 5, and a 3,000mAh battery for the 32GB.

We had doubts about the report, though, since the alleged Nexus 5 manual that leaked before that said the 32GB will sport the smaller 2,300mAh battery as well.

Italian site TuttoAndroid said was skeptical as well, and said today that it can confirm there will only be a 2,300mAh option.

Other than that we're expecting the Nexus 5 specs to include a 5-inch 1080p display and a Snapdragon 800 processor.
