Motorola Nexus 6 'Shamu' full specs leak in benchmark, features QHD display

After reports suggesting the Nexus line isn't dead, and the next iteration will be released by Motorola under the code-name 'Shamu', and feature a gargantuan 5.9' display, this benchmark clarifies a lot of things up.

First of all, the 5.9' display is busted. While that might have been the plan at the beginning' that must have changed and the device we're seeing has a 5.2' display. Moreover, unlike yesterday's benchmark striking rumors of a 1080p display paired with Snapdragon 801, based on the graphics score it got, it seems that is not the case at all.

Like the past two years, it seems the Nexus will once again feature top of the line specs. With a 5.2' QHD display, paired witha 2.7 GHz Snapdragon 805, Adreno 420 and 3 GB of RAM, this device is a winner. It also has the latest OpenGL ES 3.1, 12 MP back camera with 4K video support, and 2 MP front cam, all while running Android L. Snapdragon 805 might also hint at LTE-A support. Here's the datasheet from GFXBench:



While we don't have any information concerning dimensions, build material and overall look of the device, so far so good, and this device sounds great. If Google also fits a good battery on this one, it could well compete with all other flagships including Galaxy S5 and LG G3.

Since the Nexus 5 was released in November, we might have some time to wait before we get official information about the next Nexus. Lot of details could change until then, including some or all of the specs, and it might not even be a Nexus device, so we'll have to wait and see.
