As we enter the month of September, benchmarking platform AnTuTu has shared a list of top-performing smartphones over the previous month. To no one’s surprise, the list is topped by the recently launched Red Magic 9S Pro+, which features an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, also called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 “Leading Version”.

The second place goes to the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro (review), which is an interesting addition since it is more of a flagship killer powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, rather than a full-fledged flagship smartphone. Even the third-place iQOO Neo 9S Pro+ only costs around $412 (CNY 2,999), while scoring over 2.1 million points on average on AnTuTu, which makes it an attractive device for buyers looking for the most performance without breaking the bank. You can find the complete list of top-performing devices below.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300+ powered devices that were usually seen in the top three if not the first place have been significantly outperformed by their Qualcomm counterparts. The iQOO Neo 9S Pro and the Redmi K70 Ultra Edition powered by the Dimensity 9300+ are both relatively affordable smartphones for the performance they offer.
That said, MediaTek is planning to launch its next-generation Dimensity 9400 in mid-October, with flagship smartphones like the Vivo X200 series or Oppo Find X8 series expected to be the early adopters. As for the performance gains, the Dimensity 9400 is rumored to improve by 30% in single-core performance compared to the Dimensity 9300 and offer “PC-level” ray tracing capabilities.
