If you need to keep a secret, don't share it with anyone at Google. Thanks to a large number of leaks, (including several from Google itself) we already know most of the basic details about the as-yet-unannounced Nexus 5 smartphone: specs, colors, operating system, and even pricing. The only question mark still lingering is when the thing will be actually be available.
Predictions for its rollout date have so far been off the mark, with people predicting a Nexus 5 rollout on October 15, October 18, and even today, Monday, October 28. But just in time to keep the Nexus 5 rumor mill churning, prolific leaker Evleaks recently came out with yet another prediction.
"In white. 11/1," the typically cryptic Evleaks said on Twitter, accompanying the update with a purported press rendering of a white Nexus 5 (see above). Evleaks has a great record for leaks and the handset in the image looks pretty much like a white version of the phone that appeared briefly on Google Play earlier in October. But is that a pre-order or a shipping date? Will the black version be released the same day? It's anybody's guess.
