Snapdragon 865 dominate AnTuTu's global list of best-performing smartphones for April 2020

AnTuTu recently announced its global list of best performing flagship and mid-range smartphones. It is worth noting that AnTuTu’s list does not account for several 2020 flagships, which have already been launched in global markets, including the Realme X50 Pro, Redmi K30 Pro 5G, iQOO 3 5G, OnePlus 8 and the Oppo Find X2 series, all of which are powered by the dominant Snapdragon 865 chipset.

The Mi 10 Pro managed to rise to the top spot with an average score of 593,769 points, followed by the OnePlus 8 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10. AnTuTu only listed Exynos versions of Samsung’s Galaxy S20 series. The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G and S20+ 5G took the fourth and fifth spots with their Exynos 990 chipset.

The Asus ROG Phone 2 with the older Snapdragon 855+ chipset managed to hold down the sixth position. The ROG Phone 2 was followed by the S20+ and S20 5G with the Exynos 990 SoC, one of the reasons for the drop in performance is down to the RAM rather than the chipset. The OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro placed in ninth and tenth, respectively.

Last month, the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G with the Snapdragon 865 SoC scored 562,262 points. For comparison, the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G with the Exynos 990 chip only managed 519,713, which is a big dip in performance. A notable absentee was the Huawei P40 series, which utilizes a Kirin 990 5G chipset.
