Google Nexus 5: Unboxing Remix, Overview And Benchmark Test

Google is changing the smartphone game with its new Nexus 5. This device offers a lot of performance, but will only set you back $349 off contract. Today, we’re unboxing the new Nexus 5 and taking a closer look at the hardware. Check out the “unboxing remix” video above to get an in-depth look at what this new device has to offer.

The initial Geekbench test that I ran in the video seemed to be a bit off, but I ran it a second time and achieved results that seemed to be on par with the device’s sepcifications. If you’d like to check out the second Geekbench test, it’s available on the PrimateLabs website here.
