Nexus 5 Graphics Right on Par with the iPhone 5S and Xperia Z1

The Nexus 5 is LG and Google’s worst kept secret right now. We’ve seen a lot of leaks and rumors of the Nexus 5 which we expect Google to announce next month with Android 4.4 KitKat. The Nexus 5 was even left in a bar, whether it was intentional or not. We all have theories about that, but we’ll save those for another post. So far we know a lot about the Nexus 5, or at least we think we do. The Nexus 5 is stated to have a 4.96-inch 1080p display with a Snapdragon 800 processor.
The Nexus 5 appeared on GFXBench’s website, and the device scored pretty good on two game simulation tests. We didn’t yet have the on-screen results, but off-screen testing shows that the Nexus 5 is likely featuring the powerful Adreno 330 GPU. This also puts the device on par with the iPhone 5S at a score of 23. And it puts it above the Xperia Z1 at 21 and the LG G2 at 20. Which it’s pretty cool to see it surpass the LG G2, since that’s the device we believe the Nexus 5 is modelled after.
The T-Rex 2.7 test is a very graphical intensive benchmark which is designed to show off maximum workload that games will put on mobile devices. The Adreno 330 shows that it is definitely a great competitor to the GPU on the iPhone 5S which launched last week. Both GPUs support the Open GL ES 3.0. The Arm Mali-T6xx series of chips is the only family supporting the technology right now as well.

Remember that these benchmarks are with non-final software on an unreleased device. So chances are the scores will go even higher once the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat are announced and are official. But it’s going to be cool to see what kind of benchmark scores we see on the Nexus 5 come next month.
How many of you are excited about the Nexus 5?

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
