Lion might replace Kitkat, a screenshot (available below) obtained in the GFXBench application by @emtleaks seems to indicate, further revealing that the next Nexus smartphone might be called Nexus 5 (2014) instead of Nexus 6 or Nexus X, as was previously reported.

The same alleged benchmark test reveals that Android Lion is actually Android 5.0, in line with a recent report regarding Google’s number scheme for Android L. The tests also suggest that the phone packs a 5.2-inch display with 2560 x 1440 resolution, 2.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 12-megapixel camera and 2-megapixel front-facing shooter.

What’s not clear is what company is making the handset for Google. So far, Motorola appears to be the chosen OEM to develop this year’s Nexus smartphone, and a report did indicate that two Nexus 6 models may come out, one featuring a 5.9-inch display and one packing a 5.2-inch screen, such as the Nexus 5 (2014) shown in the following screenshot.
