The ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro clinched the top spot of this speed test while scoring an impressive 2,135,740 points, really flexing its muscle and doing full justice to the brew from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in this Antutu benchmark rankings.
The next nearest rivals were Oppo Find X7 and iQOO Neo9S Pro, turning in scores of 2,103,557 and 2,097,626 respectively.
These devices are powered by the Dimensity 9300 and 9300+ chips from MediaTek, proving once again that competition for mobile processors is fiercer than ever between the two rivals.
Familiar faces occupied the top ten list, with Vivo and sub-brand iQOO occupying four places.
The fourth place went to the Red Magic 9 Pro+, which has spent quite a large period at the top of the list.
Mid-Range Marvels: Performance on a Budget
In the upper mid-range category, OnePlus topped the list with 1,434,328 points for its Ace 3V device.
The device, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip, speaks to the blossoming might of mid-range processors.
The remaining top three were completed by Realme GT Neo6 SE and Redmi K70E.
The mid-range list was indicative of a more evenly matched contest between Qualcomm and MediaTek.
While Snapdragon chips powered the top performers, MediaTek’s Dimensity series made a strong showing, particularly with the 8200 chipset featuring in four of the top ten devices in the Antutu benchmark rankings.
Gaming: A Driving Force in Smartphone Evolution
Of course, supremacy in the rankings would belong to gaming-oriented phones like the ASUS ROG Phone 8 Pro and Red Magic 9 Pro+.
One could say that these phones pack rather specialized hardware, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in a smartphone, bringing with them great benefits not only for gamers but also all kinds of users who want top-tier performance.
One of the more interesting entries in this mid-range list is the original OnePlus Ace from 2022.
The fact that it stays within the top ten despite being an older model is quite heartening for consumers who would want devices that could remain fairly competitive over the years.
The Chip Wars: Qualcomm vs. MediaTek
If it wasn’t evident enough already, then the most exciting storyline to come out of these rankings is doubtless the never-ending fight for supremacy between Qualcomm and MediaTek.
At the high-end, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip dominated proceedings by powering six products in the top ten.
That changes a bit in the middle segments, however: near-even split between Snapdragon and Dimensity chips.
This competition is driving innovation and pushing both companies to deliver better performance at various price points.
The result is a win for consumers, who now have access to powerful devices across different budget ranges.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Smartphone Performance
These rankings give a snapshot of where smartphone technology stands as we go deeper into 2024.
What this means for consumers looking either to buy a top-of-the-line flagship or a mid-range device that is budget-friendly is that there are numerous high-performance options on the market.
With manufacturers and chip makers not holding back, we can only expect to see more amazing devices in the months and the future featured on the Antutu benchmark rankings.
