LG’s new Nexus 5X has leaked out again, this time in a new “tennis court mint” color that we haven’t seen before. The device has also been featured in a series of comparison images that give us an idea of its size versus that of rival smartphones like the Moto X and the new iPhone 6s.

As revealed in previous leaks, the Nexus 5X looks just like a Nexus 6 that’s been shrunk from the front, with front-facing speakers above and below its display. That’s corroborated in the images above, which were published by South Korean website underKG.co.kr.

The images also reveal what could be a new color option for the Nexus 5X, which underKG calls “tennis court mint.”

In another series of images posted to Reddit by Junaid_chhipa, the Nexus 5X is compared to rival smartphones to demonstrate its size, based on measurements from the many cases that have made their way to market prior to the handset’s launch.

Although the Nexus 5X is larger than the original Nexus 5, it’s also substantially smaller than last year’s Nexus 6, which many regarded as just too big. Nexus 5X also looks to be larger than the iPhone 6s, but smaller than the iPhone 6s Plus.

Google is expected to announce the new Nexus 5X alongside a second Nexus smartphone from Huawei on September 29. The device will reportedly come with a 5.2-inch Quad HD display, a Snapdragon 808 processor, a fingerprint scanner, and USB-C connectivity.
