Nexus 6 to be as powerful as Galaxy S5, One (M8): Report
The long-awaited Nexus 6 may have just appeared, albeit in truncated form, on a benchmark site for all to see.
The Motorola Shamu, which sources have said is the codename for the next Nexus phone, appeared on GFXBench in the results for a single test.
The site's Manhattan test placed the Shamu at par with Samsung Galaxy S5, Sony Xperia Z2, OnePlus One, and HTC One (M8) in terms of GPU power.
Based on its performance relative to these devices TechTastic reckons Nexus 6 will sport a 1080p display and a Snapdragon 801 chipset, unsurprising specs for a high-end handset and probably a safe bet.
A whale of a phone
When word of the Motorola Shamu leaked in late July sources said it has a massive 5.9-inch screen, pushing it past the phablet category and closer to being a true whale.
These sources also claimed the Shamu has a fingerprint scanner, much like the Nexus 6 is rumoured to have.
They added that the codenamed Nexus 6 will arrive in November, and Google already confirmed that a new Nexus device is indeed on its way this year.
If these rumours pan out the Nexus 6 will surely help usher in the age of Android L.
