Google Nexus 6 benchmarked, blows away the competition
The
Google Nexus 6 should be with us any day now, and if this alleged benchmark is anything to go by, it will be an absolute monster.
Geekbench claims to have put the handset ?
aka the Motorola Shamu ? through its paces. The results are very impressive, especially for what should be a budget device.
In the single-core tests, the
iPhone 6 and
5S outperform the Nexus 6. But when it comes to the
multi-core tests, the
Nexus 6 comes tops.
It seems very similar to the
Galaxy Note 4's results on
Geekbench.
This is all far from official. But if true, the
Nexus 6 should offer plenty of bang for your buck.
The
Nexus 5 launched on October 31 last year, so we're expecting a
Nexus 6 announcement any day now. Rumours peg a Google announcement for next week, when we're also expecting to meet the
Nexus 9 tablet and Android L.
So what about the specs? The
Nexus 6 is rumoured to have a
5.9-inch screen with a resolution of 2,560x1,440 pixels. That's 2K, which would put it on a par with the excellent ? though slightly smaller ?
LG G3.
According to Geekbench, it runs
Android L, and has a
quad-core Qualcomm chip clocked at 2.65GHz.
We could also see a smaller,
5.2-inch model launch, mimicking the dual-pronged approach Apple took with the
iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. 5.9 inches is mighty large for a phone, so we would welcome a more manageable model.
It shouldn't be long until we know for sure. Let us know what you'd like to see in the comments.
