Google Nexus 6 By Motorola With Android Lollipop Review

To get a feel for how graphics performance on the Nexus 6 compares to other devices, we used GFXBench, which has been one of our standard graphics performance benchmarks for a while. In order to ensure Vsynch and resolution isn’t a limiting factor, we will compare offscreen test results. We also used Futuremark's 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited benchmark.

The Nexus 6 puts up the best score we’ve seen yet by a good margin in the Fill Offscreen test. The phone also performs well in the T Rex 1080p test, coming in third place.

Using the Unlimited version of 3DMark Ice Storm, the Nexus 6 reported outstanding scores that earned the phone first or second place in all components of the test.
