MediaTek has swept AnTuTu’s October 2025 mid-range rankings, claiming every slot in the top 10. The benchmark snapshot underlines how Dimensity chips are powering a new wave of high-performance mid-tier phones — and it’s reshaping expectations for what 'upper midrange' can deliver.
All Dimensity, All the Time: What the list shows
AnTuTu’s October roundup reads like a Dimensity catalog. Leading the pack is Realme’s Neo7 SE, fueled by the Dimensity 8400-Ultra and posting an average monthly score of 1,931,641. Close behind are the iQOO Z10 Turbo and Vivo Y300 GT, each powered by the standard Dimensity 8400, with 1,915,499 and 1,909,184 points respectively.
Fourth place belongs to the Redmi Turbo 4, another 8400-Ultra entrant, which scored 1,868,587. Oppo’s Reno 14 series fills fifth and sixth with the Dimensity 8350 and 8450. The remaining spots include phones from Motorola and OPPO, such as the Motorola Edge 60 Pro and the OPPO K13 Turbo 5G — all running MediaTek silicon.
Top 10 snapshot
- Realme Neo7 SE — Dimensity 8400-Ultra: 1,931,641
- iQOO Z10 Turbo — Dimensity 8400: 1,915,499
- Vivo Y300 GT — Dimensity 8400: 1,909,184
- Redmi Turbo 4 — Dimensity 8400-Ultra: 1,868,587
- Oppo Reno 14 (one model) — Dimensity 8350
- Oppo Reno 14 (another model) — Dimensity 8450
- Motorola Edge 60 Pro — MediaTek chip
- OPPO K13 Turbo 5G — MediaTek chip
- Other top-10 models — various Dimensity variants
- Every entry exceeds ~1.28 million AnTuTu points
These aren’t small margins. Every device in the top 10 clears roughly 1.28 million points, a level of performance that used to belong to flagships from 2022–2023. In short: the upper-midrange has matured fast, and MediaTek is steering that evolution.
Why Qualcomm isn’t on the list — for now
It’s notable — and a little surprising — that no Snapdragon-powered phone cracked the top 10. Qualcomm’s closest competitors in this bracket are the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, but AnTuTu’s October snapshot shows stronger adoption of Dimensity silicon among manufacturers targeting the mid-range. That combination of broad adoption and optimized implementations seems to be giving MediaTek a clear edge.
How AnTuTu arrives at these rankings
Unlike single-shot results that highlight the highest benchmark run, AnTuTu averages scores collected throughout the month for each model. That approach favors consistent performance across different devices and firmware builds rather than one-off peak runs — making the October list a better reflection of typical real-world performance for buyers and reviewers.
Imagine choosing a midrange phone that performs like a two-year-old flagship — that’s the new reality. For shoppers hunting for bang-for-buck performance in late 2025, MediaTek-powered phones deserve a hard look.
