AnTuTu also published its ranking of the top 10 most-powerful midrange smartphones for February 2020. Unlike the ranking for the month of January that saw a rich blend of mid-range SoCs slugging it out on the models that make up the top 10, this time around only five mid-range processors is contenders. The Redmi K30 4G and OPPO Reno2, both powered by a Snapdragon 730G SoC were edged out.
The OPPO Reno3 5G powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1000L processor maintained its lead of this category with an average score of 409380 points. The second spot is retained by the Exynos 980-powered Vivo X30 5G ut the distance between the first and second-ranked model is more than 80,000 points, showing the prowess of the Dimensity 1000L. The Dimensity 1000L is built with a 7nm process and uses the Cortex-A77 architecture in an octa-core arrangement. The GPU uses the G77 architecture and the SoC also comes with built-in 5G baseband. The chipset equally supports NSA / SA dual-mode 5G.
At the third spot is the Redmi K30 5G packing a Snapdragon 765G processor. OPPO’s latest Reno3 Pro 5G enters at the fourth spot and as the last 5G model in the midrange category.

Huawei’s Hisilicon Kirin 810 chipset propelled five different Huawei and Honor models into the list. The phones include the Honor 9X Pro, Huawei Nova 6 SE, Honor 20S, Honor 9X and the Huawei Nova 5, all occupying the fifth to ninth spots respectively. 
Another MediaTek chipset, the Helio G90T makes the cut onboard the Redmi Note 8 Pro and with an average score of 289936 points.
The top 10 ranking only has four different 5G smartphones onboard. With the rising number of 5G mid-range phones that are being released including some late last month like the Vivo Z6, we expect the list to be dominated by only 5G phones pretty soon.
