Google is expected to roll out the next phones in its Nexus series this month. Rumors are rife that the search engine giant will get rid of the Nexus name and the phones will be dubbed as Pixel and Pixel XL, which are currently in the works with codenames Sailfish and Marlin.

While gadget freaks are waiting with bated breath for Google's next Nexus phones, acclaimed smartphone leaker, OnLeaks posted a rendered video to his Twitter account shedding some light on key specs of the Sailfish to Android Authority.

The video coincides with earlier leaks and speculations that hinted a sleek unibody metal design and a purported dark glass portion on the rear.
