Here’s something for fans of Google’s Nexus devices. Apparently, a 2015 version of the Nexus 5 has been spotted on AnTuTu, a popular benchmarking tool. While the results did not reveal much of its specifications, it managed to get a score of over 85,000, which is the highest recorded score to date on AnTuTu.
to put this into perspective, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge were the fastest devices on AnTuTu, with scores of 60,590 and 62,304 respectively on our review units. A difference of over 25,000 points is almost too good to be true, but not entirely impossible.
Chances are, the Nexus 5 benchmarked here is equipped with a new, unreleased processor. Yes, it’s very likely to be powered by the very promising Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, which has been shown to best even the Exynos 7420 processor found in the Samsung Galaxy S6 duo in certain aspects.
Previously, the next Nexus smartphones (yes, that’s plural) are rumoured to be coming from LG and Huawei. LG is said to be coming up with a smaller device, while Huawei will be manufacturing a larger device. If this 2015 iteration of the Nexus 5 is coming from LG (after all, it did manufacture the first Nexus 5), this gives credence to the rumour.
Of course, nothing is certain until it is officially announced by the manufacturers themselves. While we can only dream that these scores are legitimate, it’s wise to take it in with a grain of salt until more concrete information surface. It would be interesting to see if the “2015 Nexus 5” will indeed feature a 1080p display like what the benchmark is suggesting.

Hahaha, looks like Qualcomm finally gave in to the MediaTek way of marketing. Huge, pointless Antutu scores.
Benchmarks are never and will never be reflecting the real world experience. No surprise here :/
dream phone come with dream price, it’s common.
Well hopefully they also upgrade the camera if they are charging a premium price~~
Oneplus 2 and even Meixu MX5 is coming~~
One thing for sure, super smooth performance and timely update. Like a nexus always be.
Happy to see LGN5 back…. nexus 6 really a fail piece of made…
Nexus 6 is not fail piece, it is beacuse the price is too high.
and it is too late for official launch, the price only drop from Directd 2699 to 2199…
price is another issue, screen also…. serious burn-in issue for status bar and keyboard… might be because of AMOLED but it is happen too soon.. not to mentioned those manufacture issue like rear panel defects found out for small portion of the shipments… there are some more common issue reported on this nexus flagship if you google around…
I like nexus family line… but so far i think #Nexus5 is the best till the date
Every phone also got problem at first…
look what happen to S6 edge, iphone 6 plus, s6 camera, M9+…..all got their own problem, not only Nexus 6….
“which has been shown to *best even the Exynos 7420 processor”
should be “which has been shown to beat even the Exynos 7420 processor”
