On the flagship front, the Vivo Nex 3 5G claimed the top spot, receiving a score of 4,82,917 points, while the company’s iQOO Pro 5G gaming phone followed in at a close second with 4,81,997 points. Surprisingly, the standard OnePlus 7T did better than the Pro variant, while the Asus ROG Phone 2 claimed the 5^th spot. Rounding off the list are the Mi 9 Pro 5G, Black Shark 2 Pro, Realme X2 Pro, Meizu 16s Pro and Redmi K20 Pro Premium.

All the smartphones on the list are powered by Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, which is hardly surprising, considering its Qualcomm’s best silicon. AnTuTu’s list only featured Android smartphones, but we did benchmark Apple’s iPhone 11 Pro Max that earned a score of 4,56,439 points. AnTuTu also released a list of the highest performing mid-range smartphones.

Honor devices running on the Kirin 810 SoC took the first three spots on the list of best performing mid-range smartphones. AnTuTu claimed that the Honor 9X Pro took the first place on the list on account of its liquid cooling. The Redmi Note 8 Pro running on the MediaTek G90T chipset took the fourth spot on the list, while Qualcomm made it to the top five with the Snapdragon 730G SoC on the Realme X2.

The Oppo Reno2, Mi 9 SE and Redmi K20 that run on the Snapdragon 730 chipset took the next three places on the list. The Realme Q (Available in India as Realme 5 Pro) and Vivo X27 (Not available in India) took the last two spots on the list with their Snapdragon 712 and Snapdragon 710 chips, respectively.
