AnTuTu is one of the popular benchmarking platforms for Android devices. The company behind this software is known for publishing lists of best-performing Android flagships and mid-range smartphones every month. As we have entered June, the firm has released its lists for the month of May 2021.
The latest list of best-performing Android flagship smartphones is filled with devices powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 like the previous list (April 2021). The new list no longer includes the Lenovo Legion Phone Duel 2 (aka Lenovo Legion 2 Pro) and the Xiaomi Mi 11.
The above-mentioned phones are replaced by ASUS ROG Phone 5 and realme GT. The Black Shark 4 Pro continues to top the chart, however, the order of other handsets has been jumbled. In a nutshell, there’s no key takeaway.
On the other hand, the best-performing Android mid-range smartphone list has a new winner after 11 months. The Redmi 10X 5G series equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 820 SoC finally loses its crown to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 780G.
For those unaware, the Redmi 10X 5G and the Redmi 10X Pro 5G have been leading the AnTuTu best-performing Android mid-range smartphones since their debut last June.
We can say that the performance of MediaTek Dimensity 820 was ahead of its time for a mid-range silicon. Unfortunately, this chip is only found in vivo S7t 5G, which is yet another China-exclusive smartphone like the Redmi 10X 5G series.
Lastly, unlike the flagship list, the mid-range list includes handsets featuring different chipsets like Qualcomm Snapdragon 768G, HiSilicon Kirin 985, HiSilicon Kirin 820, Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G, Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, and MediaTek Dimensity 800U.
