Huawei Nexus 6P color options leak ahead of next week's official unveiling

Unless something extraordinary happens next week at Google's Nexus event, the company will not take us by surprise with the design or the specs of the Huawei-made Nexus 6P. An endless stream of rumors, benchmark results, leaked press renders, and live photos of prototype units has previously revealed the curves and the internal components of the Nexus 6 successor. However, one thing that was missing from the picture up until recently were the color options. Thankfully, a new leak claims to shed light on this detail as well.

Allegedly, Google will launch the Nexus 6P in white, black, gold, and aluminum/silver although the official names will probably be embellished a bit. The previous leaks indicated towards white and silver options, but this is the first time we're hearing of gold and black versions.

If you're in need of a quick recap, the Google Nexus 6P is widely expected to come with a 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 1440 by 2560 pixels, Qualcomm's octa-core Snapdragon 810 chipset, 3GB of RAM, a 13MP primary camera with laser autofocus assist, and an 8MP selfie shooter on the front. Other rumored specs include dual front-facing speakers, a back-mounted fingerprint sensor, as well as the new USB Type-C reversible connector. In terms of storage, there's reason to believe that the first Huawei Nexus will come in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB options. On the software side, the Huawei Nexus 6P will rock Android 6.0 Marshmallow, an OS version that it will debut along the LG Nexus 5X.
