Google will soon unveil two new Nexus handsets, but there are few surprises left when it comes to the LG Nexus 5X and Huawei Nexus 6. The two devices have been featured in a wide variety of leaks, with the most recent one showing impressive benchmarks for the new phablet. Hot on the heels on that Geekbench sighting is a new leak that mentions all the specs of one of Google’s newest Nexus devices.

The LG phone might be the smaller, more affordable Nexus handset this year, but Android fans looking for the best Nexus version possible should really be eying the Huawei handset, at least according to a new GFX Bench listing.

The Huawei Angler – which is the codename of the new Nexus 6 – will feature a 5.7-inch 2K display (2560 x 1440 resolution), 1.9GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 24GB of storage, 12-megapixel camera with 4K video support and 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

The handset will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box when it becomes available next month.

A screenshot showing the Huawei Angler’s specs, as seen on GFX Bench, follows below.
