Motorola Nexus 6 'Shamu' gets benchmarked

It looks like the rumors about the Nexus line dying are dead themselves. Following the rumors about Motorola producing a Nexus device which is code-named 'Shamu', we now have concrete information about the device's existence. 

Once again, the information is leaked via a popular bench-marking website, this time GFXBench. While it seems the person who ran the benchmark was careful not to reveal too much information about the device, and we don't have the full specs, we do have some basic info.

From the bench-marking score, we can derive the following: Since it got on par with the S5 and Z2, we can assume it has a 1080p display, since QHD would be closer to the G3. While that might be disappointing to some, especially considering the device's rumored giant size, it's not too bad and shouldn't be a deal-breaker. That also means we can expect better battery life than if it had a QHD display.

While we can't tell  for sure, the range in which the score was hints at the processor being a Snapdragon 801, since this are the general scores it tends to generate when coupled with a 1080p display.

So, what do you think? Does a 5.9' Motorola Nexus 6 boasting a 1080p display and SD 801 sound good to you? Remember, this is nothing concrete, and all of the above might change by the time the device is officially announced. Stay tuned.
