Benchmarks don’t lie, but they do tell stories. In January’s AnTuTu roundup — based on averaged runs performed in China — the RedMagic 11 Pro+ held the crown among flagship Android phones with an eye-catching 4,104,271 on AnTuTu v11. It’s a number that reads like a headline, but the narrative is still unfolding: iQOO has an Ultra model about to land, and industry whispers suggest February’s table will look very different.
Second place went to vivo’s X300 Pro Satellite Communication Edition, followed by the Realme GT 8 Pro, the iQOO 15, Honor’s Magic8 Pro, the Honor Win, the Honor Magic8, OnePlus 15, Redmi K90 Pro Max and the vivo X300. Eight of those ten flagships run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, while two use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 — a clear sign that the Elite Gen 5 is dominating top-tier performance conversations right now.
Mid-range phones offered a different script. The Honor Power 2 topped that list with an average score of 2,218,856. Close behind were the Oppo Reno15 and Reno15 Pro, Reno14 Pro, iQOO Z10 Turbo, Redmi Turbo 4, Oppo Reno14, Redmi Note 12 Turbo, OnePlus Turbo 6V and the Redmi Note 15 Pro+. If you follow chipmakers, this won’t surprise you: MediaTek’s Dimensity 8-series is front and center, filling the first seven slots. The new Dimensity 8500 sits at the top there, but its lead over the 8400 is modest — the real jump appeared between the 8300 and 8400. Qualcomm still lacks a compelling counter in this slice of the market, which explains why Snapdragon-equipped mid-rangers cluster toward the bottom of the list.
Tablets painted yet another picture. Honor’s MagicPad3 Pro 13.3 remains the benchmark king — unsurprising, since it’s the only slate running Snapdragon’s 8 Elite Gen 5. There’s a sizable gap between the champ and the runner-up, the Oppo Pad 4 Pro, but positions two through ten are surprisingly tight, with around a 400,000-point spread when you look past the leader.
Beyond the top two tablets you’ll find a mixed cast: the H3C MegaBook holding third place thanks to its Intel Core Ultra 5 228V SoC, the OnePlus Pad 2 Pro, Lenovo’s latest Legion Y700, the RedMagic Astra (marketed in China as the Tablet 3 Pro), Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro, iQOO Pad5 Pro and the Redmi K Pad closing out the chart. Different architectures. Different priorities. Same competitive hunger.
If you’re watching performance charts to pick your next device, remember this: the lead can flip fast, especially when a new Ultra model drops.
Benchmarks are useful, but they’re only one piece of the buying puzzle. Battery life, thermals, software updates, and real-world workload performance still matter more than a single score on a leaderboard. So read the numbers. Then go test the experience yourself.
