The Xiaomi Mi 11, the first Snapdragon 888 powered phone to hit the market, won the title of the fastest phone in December’s AnTuTu rankings (topping the Mate 40 Pro). In January, it was dethroned by another 888 phone, the iQOO 7.
The performance-driven iQOO managed to open a hole for the crew of the Kirin 9000, previously the Huawei Mate 40 Pro + was just a hair behind the Mi 11. Note that AnTuTu includes RAM and storage in its score calculations, so for each phone, the version with the largest memory capacity wins.
Interestingly, the Mi 11 score has declined slightly since December (was 708,425). AnTuTu averages scores across multiple units rather than using a phone’s best score. It seems that performance varies from unit to unit.
That’s it for flagships, now let’s take a look at the midrange championship. The Redmi 10X 5G retains the top spot while its sibling, the Redmi 10X Pro 5G, improved its performance and moved up to second place (fourth in December). Both use the Dimensity 820 chipset and have the same physical dimensions, so this was just a case of the Pro underperforming.
Another sibling rivalry was shattered when the Huawei nova 7 5G overtook the nova 7 Pro 5G (whose average score dropped slightly). Finally, the Reno5 5G overtook the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G to secure the No.8 spot.
There should be fresh blood as soon as phones with the Snapdragon 870 and Dimensity 1200 hit the road.
