A new generation of flagship Android smartphones have arrived clad with the latest and greatest processors. And so, AnTuTu has officially released its November 2023 list of the top-performing devices. While some entries on the list were expected, there are a few surprises packed in as well.

Red Magic 9 Pro

It comes as no surprise that the recently launched Red Magic 9 Pro+ has taken the performance crown with 2,188,631 points since performance is kind of the bread and butter of the brand. The phone comes equipped with the beefiest cooling system on the list that gives more headroom to squeeze out more performance without throttling due to heat.

That being said, the most surprising thing on this list is the Dimensity 9300 clad Vivo X100 capturing the second spot with 2,184,153 points. The difference between it and the X100 and the Red Magic 9 Pro+ is just around 4500 points, which people familiar with the AnTuTu benchmark know is almost nothing. It makes us wonder if Red Magic decided to release a Dimensity 9300 version of the Red Magic 9 series device, what the performance on it be like.

Vivo IQOO 12

Moving on to the third position, the iQOO 12 has also shown impressive performance achieving an average of 2,174,484 points. iQOO is also known for making performance-oriented devices with top-notch cooling systems so it is no surprise that the device can push the processor to its limits without running into heating issues.

The Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro, previously holding the top two positions last month, have now surpassed the 2 million point mark this month. While this marks an improvement from their performance in the previous month, they have now slid down to the 6th and 7th positions. The enhanced performance is likely attributed to refinements, possibly overlooked in the rush to claim the title of the first smartphone featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. We can expect the performance to improve even more in the coming days.

The last three positions are currently occupied by the iQOO 11S, the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro, and the Vivo X90 Pro+, all of which use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. With the launch of the OnePlus 12 and other flagships on the horizon, we can expect a couple of these devices to vanish from the December top 10 list.

Speaking of the OnePlus 12, the brand boldly declares that the device could hit an impressive 2,333,033 points, placing it in the running for the AnTuTu performance crown. However, the real litmus test is consistency. All eyes are on December 5 to discern if this claimed performance is a one-time showstopper or a sustained feat. Here’s the OnePlus 12 roundup to fill you in on everything known about the device so far.
