Nexus 5 - 2015

[jos]

All last year, the Meizu MX4 was the top scoring phone on the AnTuTu Benchmark website with an average score of 47,765. That edged out the 47,079 scored by the Nexus 6. The early leader for 2015 was the Samsung Galaxy S6 with a 68,157 tally. But now, there is a new King sitting on the AnTuTu throne. With an incredible score of 85,530, the Nexus 5 (2015) is seemingly the new phone to beat on the benchmark site.

 

 

 

810 graphics performance is way higher even at higher resolution compared to Nexus 5.. CPU performance has almost doubled. even in single and multi thread application. Mediatek 10core CPU is conformed to have a score near 70000 meaning it is likely to be snapdragon 820. If it is 820 then they reduced heat by making underperforming graphics core compared to 810.

Wait, Nexus 5 2015 is an all new phone? So the number after Nexus only indicates screen size? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, now does it?

Yes, the number indicate screen size and it has been that way since the Nexus 4 came out.

That's why the Nexus 9 is newer than the Nexus 10,and why we have the Nexus 7 as well as the Nexus 7 (2013).

I have to admit my mobile devices knowledge isn't on point. I thought that the Nexus 9 and 10 were different, because they were tablets and that the phones use a regular increasing number naming scheme.

 

This might be confusing for other consumers, I reckon. It also seems that the mobile market is shifting back from the ridiculously large phones. This new version is smaller than the 6, the OnePlus Two will be smaller than the One.

i would love if its a 820 instead of a 810 but  its too early for a 820

 

 

Qualcomm announced the new Snapdragon 820, to be available for sampling in late 2015, with its brand new Kryo CPU. It is expected to show up in smartphones by 2016

Yay great it's powerful but what about battery life? My nexus 6 loves to eat through its battery and that's with every setting I can find turned off or to the lowest point possible.

I'm still hoping for there to also be a phablet Nexus. I know most people here will disagree, but I think 5.5+ inches is where a smartphone reaches its true potential.

Yeah, 5.5 seems to be the max for me. I have a 1+1 now, which is 5.5 IIRC. Anything larger would get uncomfortable for me.

 

Though, bigger and bigger phones have more space for bigger batteries

[Nexxus]

So is this thing 100% confirmed now? 

[Crowes]

Great! I'm also looking for a new phone I can run stock android on with decent battery life and performance (atleast 7-9h straight for a working day) and the current Nexus 5 was going to be my replacement for the current Moto G I use. Nexus 5 2015 would just be even better.

[Wind]

are the new Nexus 5 is in the medium range price like is predecessor?

[Chris92]

Well, guys you have to remember that this is a leak and doesn't have to be true at all.

And well, I'm considering either a 1+2 or the new Nexus 5 if it has a decent battery life this year. I'm honestly not as convinced on OnePlus using the 810 v2.1 in the 1+2, I have the suspicion that their CPU core management in OxygenOS and the new thermal thingie in the firmware might cause the 810 not being able to be used to its full potential.

Let's hope the Nexus5 '15 will be as blazing fast as it seems. Might also be just some improvements in Android M that are kind of tricking AnTuTu, who knows.

 

I'm still waiting on getting more news about Huawei's Nexus phone this year, so let's see how that goes. I could imagine that being the phablet-sized Nexus device of this year. If it's not too much more expensive than the Nexus 5, that might also be an option for me. Gotta go LARGER

[DLM_012]

Quite honestly I'd love my Nexus with a better battery and camera. It's plenty fast enough but a performance bump wouldn't hurt either. Oh and put it in the beautiful red [emoji7]

[SirSquid]

Sweet, i hope i can use it on project FI

There will be 2 nexus phones this year.

A 5,7 Huawei Nexus and this one.

We'll see. Huawei though... I'm honestly not sure if I'd buy a phone made by them. Why choose them, of all companies?

They are actually very, very successful and known in Asia, they just aren't known in the West. And it is hard for them to make a footprint here. But they are succeeding slowly.

I just haven't seen true quality from them, and their current flagship is a blatant iPhone 6 ripoff.

[ofr057]

I really like my nexus 5 (original) and if the new nexus 5 is the same size I'll most likly get that

Don't you mean Xiaomi?

[Techhog]

No. The Ascend P8 is an iPhone 6 with smaller bezels and square corners, basically.

So is the S6, but you don't see anybody else complaining (it looks like the iPhone 6 a lot)

And seriously, there is only so much shapes for a phone.

You branding it a rip off is not cool man.

I normally wouldn't, but this is one of the rare cases where I just have to...

For anyone interested, this is what the Ascend P8 looks like:

 

I think calling it an iPhone rip-off makes as much sense as calling any rectangle with a big screen an "iPhone rip-off". I'd like to see anyone design any phone that's not an iPhone rip-off if even this one qualifies for it.
